I help your organization run smoothly

I am an international development consultant with over 15 years of experience leading complex global initiatives in health, digital transformation, and development sectors. With an MBA from the University of Oxford and a proven record of managing multi-million-dollar portfolios, I specialize in turning strategic visions into operational reality—ensuring programs deliver impact, efficiency, and sustainability. My work has taken me across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, where I’ve collaborated with governments, NGOs, donors, and the private sector to deliver measurable results in challenging environments.

Throughout my career, I have built high-performing, cross-cultural teams and implemented processes that enhance compliance, reduce delays, and improve organizational effectiveness. I have successfully managed country programs during periods of political instability, conflict, and public health crises, providing strategic guidance that ensures continuity and resilience.

I combine technical expertise in global health, digital systems, and program management with a collaborative leadership style that fosters innovation and partnership. Whether developing national digital health strategies, scaling mHealth solutions, or overseeing large-scale donor-funded projects, I focus on delivering solutions that are practical, sustainable, and responsive to the communities they serve.
