Development leadership grounded in institutions, coordination and delivery.
I bring more than 12 years of experience across the UN system, including UN Women, UNIDO and UNOPS, with recent senior country-office leadership experience in Tanzania.
My work has consistently sat between policy and implementation: translating normative commitments into programmes, coordination mechanisms, accountability frameworks, government engagement and measurable results.
From programme management to senior country-office leadership.

Strategic, cross-functional and implementation-minded.
I work across silos—connecting government institutions, UN entities, donors, civil society and internal programme teams. I am most effective where strategy must be converted into workable institutional arrangements and sustained follow-through.
