Finance Coordinator at MSF Switzerland, directing mission financial strategy and donor reporting.

Kenya
Message

At MSF Switzerland, I directed financial strategy and risk management for mission operations in Nigeria, overseeing donor contracts and reporting. I also improved budget accuracy and responsiveness to operational changes.

As Deputy Finance Coordinator in South Sudan, I strengthened treasury management and financial risk controls, and delivered variance analysis and corrective actions. In other MSF Switzerland roles, I prepared budgets and forecasts, trained finance staff, and oversaw payroll and HR processes.

Earlier, I managed finance and field operations for Caritas Switzerland in Kenya and worked in finance, administration, and donor reporting for other organizations. I hold an MBA in Finance (ongoing), a B.Com in Finance & Administration, and a CPA qualification.
