What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead operations or programs, optimize workflows, drive measurable impact, and collaborate across functions and regions while growing in data-driven and AI-supported operations.

I am an international development and operations professional with 12+ years delivering people-centered, results-driven programs across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. I focus on streamlining operations, improving customer satisfaction and retention, and implementing process improvements that increase impact.

I have led multidisciplinary teams and complex programs with defined KPIs, budgets, and reporting frameworks, and I coordinate funders, NGOs, private sector partners, and cross-functional teams across regions and time zones. My work in monitoring, evaluation, and impact measurement has improved program performance through redesigned assessment tools and reporting systems.

I bring hands-on experience in operations and process optimization, grant management, compliance oversight, and customer support, and I have applied AI data annotation and structured validation methods to improve workflow efficiency and model training data quality. Highlights include recovering significant surplus funds through auction redesign, improving customer satisfaction metrics, and achieving high placement and program completion rates.

I am skilled with Salesforce, Freshdesk, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and structured data validation environments, and I consistently drive measurable efficiency and productivity gains for startups, NGOs, SMEs, and multinational organizations.
