An experienced international development director, program manager, strategist and fundraiser. I have experience and expertise in all 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 40 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. Researched and led several non-formal and formal interagency working arrangements. Using this knowledge and my negotiation/interpersonal skills, I have facilitated successful collaborative initiatives.
