What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead development consulting and project delivery where stakeholder engagement, partnership building, and strong monitoring and evaluation drive measurable outcomes for communities, MSMEs, and multilateral programs.

I’m an international management consultant with “two proven years of experience in ADB and two UNDP projects in South Asia,” focused on bridging policy and implementation through practical, on-the-ground work.

I establish repeatable, “projectized approach” delivery for “multilateral projects,” and I manage administration, logistics, tenders, and monitoring and evaluation—covering “19 renewable energy projects” financed by ADB under a single consultancy contract.

I lead and coordinate cross-functional delivery at scale, including “livelihood development” consulting and “community development consultations.” I’ve “led a team of 20 as direct reports” and coordinated stakeholder engagement “between 10 cross-functional bodies” spanning government, non-governmental organizations, and international finance institutions.

My consulting also supports economic outcomes: I’ve advised “over 50 MSMEs… regarding revenue maximisation and business sustainability,” and I’ve “analysed, designed and implemented economic development, job creation, and economic growth strategies” for populations with “over 4000 households” in rural isolated territories, while strengthening partnerships and digital platform capabilities.
