Business development specialist with expertise in international development.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated business development specialist with a strong background in international development and a passion for fostering sustainable growth. Currently, I serve as a Capture Manager at International Development Group (IDG), where I have successfully led proposal efforts that resulted in securing contracts worth over $144 million. My role involves managing capture research, developing technical proposal sections, and mentoring junior staff, ensuring that our proposals are not only competitive but also impactful.
My academic journey includes a Master’s degree in International and Global Studies from the University of Salamanca, where I focused on nationalism and conflict. This academic foundation, combined with my practical experience at IDG and Strategies for International Development, has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex challenges in the international development sector. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to making a difference through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions.
