To deliver high quality products or services in the domain of International Cooperation, it is essential that projects and programs are continuously followed up. Unfortunately it is not uncommon in this sector that a gap arises, for instance because a contract ends and it takes time to find a replacement. Or because an employee needs to leave the country on a short notice and the organization does not have enough capacity to instantly cover this vacuum. With my broad profile and my experience as a portfolio manager, I will be able to fill the gap in your organization.
During my six years of management experience in the non-profit sector, as a program manager I was responsible for a team of 7 people and a variety of programs, ranging from Climate Change, Renewable Energy, Women Empowerment, Secure Livelihoods and Peace and Reconciliation. This translated in a total of 40 projects and a yearly budget of 3 million euro. I was able to lead the team through a period of insecurity in Mali in 2011-2012, when there was a coup d’état in the capital city and rebellion in the Northern region. My analytical strength helps me to quickly understand new programs and its context. By working effectively I can assure deadlines are met and high level of quality will be delivered.
I have a supportive managerial style. By asking what my staff needs I am able to provide them with the necessary tools to develop themselves and excel in their work. By providing space for all staff members a team spirit is created. I am based in East-Africa and so I can move quickly to where the needs are in this region.
