What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented Program Manager with 19 years of experience delivering strategic programs across HR, training, education and health sectors. I have led large-scale initiatives—from launching university degree programs and training platforms to implementing USAID and donor-funded projects—consistently achieving measurable reach and institutional buy-in.
I excel at stakeholder engagement, donor management, and building high-performing teams, having launched multiple master's programs, implemented Coursera DLSEI for nearly 10,000 users, and delivered large training portfolios and conferences. I bring meticulous project execution, strong partnership development, and a commitment to organizational growth and capacity building.
