What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can manage donor-funded health programs, strengthen M&E systems, build partner capacity, and drive measurable health outcomes in collaborative, impact-focused teams.

I am a strategic, results-oriented public health and program management specialist with over 16 years of progressive leadership managing donor-funded health and development projects across Ethiopia.

I have led program design, implementation, monitoring & evaluation, and strategic coordination for USAID- and Global Fund-supported initiatives, achieving full delivery of project objectives and substantial improvements in service quality.

I specialize in building institutional capacity, strengthening stakeholder partnerships across government and local partners, and implementing data systems such as DHIS2, EMRIS, and CommCare to enable real-time, evidence-based decision-making.

I am passionate about driving transformative impact through structured program leadership, innovation, and multi-partner collaboration, and I bring consistent success in compliance, quality improvement, and capacity building for sustainable health outcomes.
