Burkina FasoWhat I'm looking for
I am a security consultant and EOD/IED expert with extensive experience in assessment, mitigation, and neutralization of explosive threats, and in securing sensitive sites. I have delivered training and technical capacity building for defense and security forces, UN agencies, NGOs, and local partners.
My background combines operational EOD/IED work, PSSM (physical security and stockpile management), weapons and ammunition management, and geomatics. I have led project planning, monitoring and evaluation, and supervised high-risk area security assessments while managing logistics, budgets, and training programs.
I emphasize collaboration with institutional partners and host security forces, strong team leadership, and clear communication to implement safety protocols, training curricula, and operational responses that reduce risk and strengthen local capacities.
