What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my negotiation skills and experience in proposal development within a mission-driven organization focused on impactful social change.

I am a dynamic and highly accomplished executive leader with over 20 years of experience across corporate, nonprofit, and public-sector development environments. My expertise lies in high-level negotiation, proposal and tender coordination, and stakeholder engagement within complex, compliance-driven contexts. I have a proven track record of delivering high-value projects, building powerful strategic alliances, and driving sustainable outcomes.

As the Chief Executive Officer at Black Ink Signatures, I spearheaded successful proposal submissions for social innovation projects and managed complex documentation across multi-partner consortia. My ability to negotiate sustainable terms and oversee the quality control of bids has been instrumental in aligning proposals with donor standards. I am now seeking to contribute my strengths as a Tender & Proposal Specialist in a mission-driven environment focused on transformation and development.
