With a Master's degree in Economics focused on Sustainable Development and multilingual proficiency in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, I possess the ideal qualifications to engage diverse stakeholders across Africa, the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. My 24-year career trajectory is marked by proven expertise in managing multi-stakeholder projects, institutional capacity building, and technical assistance initiatives globally.

My extensive experience in project management and team leadership spans over 21 years, during which I have successfully led and supervised regional, multicultural teams in Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. As evidenced by my roles as Team Leader for the EU-funded EUROCLIMA Programme in LAC and the regional "Gulf of Fonseca" project in Central America, as well as my position as projects coordinator for the Brazilian Cooperation Agency within UNDP's South-South Cooperation Programme, I have the ability to foster collaborative environments and ensure effective resource allocation.

With over 15 years of experience advising international and regional organizations, governments, and private sector entities on enabling environments, policy development, and partnership-building, I have honed my stakeholder engagement and partnership-building capabilities. My skills in maintaining strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, including donors and partners such as the EU, OACPS, GIZ, UNDP, UNEP, GCF, and others, as well as beneficiaries, through participatory processes and multi-stakeholder platforms, are invaluable assets.

My robust financial management and donor compliance expertise, gained through extensive experience in budget preparation, resource allocation, and adherence to donor guidelines and requirements, including those of the EU, UNDP, IDB, GIZ, and others, ensures efficient project budget management and comprehensive technical and financial reporting.

Furthermore, my 23+ years of experience implementing monitoring and evaluation frameworks, including risk identification, mitigation, and continuous improvement practices, have equipped me with demonstrated risk management and quality assurance skills, enabling me to meet project deliverables and quality standards consistently.

With strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, I'm adept at rapidly analyzing diverse information from varied sources and addressing complex issues in international development and business investment reform contexts. My deep understanding of and respect for cultural differences, coupled with the ability to work effectively in multicultural environments across diverse regions, underscores my cultural sensitivity and adaptability.
