What I'm looking for

My expertise spans donor compliance, inventory control, procurement, quality assurance, liquidity management, and project budgeting, consistently achieving operational excellence and impactful audit outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have worked with multi-donor organizations such as USAID, SDC, and the World Bank, where I have developed and executed risk management strategies and led financial reporting efforts.
