An experienced leader, international development director, strategist, and fundraiser. Excellent experience and expertise in most functions essential for the effective running of an international development organization, incl. strategic planning, management (people, programs, finances), fundraising, relationship building and networking. I have been fortunate to work in diverse and increasingly senior roles for 38 years. I have successfully managed multicultural teams and enriched my understanding of economic, social and political contexts by visiting and working in 30 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania. I enjoy building effective teams and getting the best out of them and mentoring young professionals who go on to achieve great successes. I have researched and led several non-formal and formal interagency working arrangements; using this knowledge and my negotiation/interpersonal skills, I have facilitated successful collaboration initiatives.
