What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead governance, compliance, and risk functions, drive ethical culture, support donor-regulated programs, and deliver measurable control improvements.

I am a governance, compliance, and risk management professional with over seven years of experience across government institutions and international NGOs, focused on entity governance, regulatory compliance, and internal control management. I have led risk and ethics initiatives, investigated misconduct, managed donor compliance and grants, and supported organizational expansion through practical policy implementation and staff training.

My background includes developing risk frameworks, conducting compliance and safeguarding audits, coordinating whistleblowing and ethics reporting, and delivering stakeholder engagement and community awareness programs. I prioritize accountability, transparency, and measurable mitigation strategies to reduce operational and reputational risk while strengthening governance and compliance capacity.
