I am Batista John Mariko Ogoti, a seasoned Finance and Development Professional with over 20 years of experience in financial management, budget planning, and donor compliance across international development programs. I specialize in building robust financial systems, leading high-performing teams, and aligning financial strategy with organizational and donor priorities.

My career spans leading organizations such as USAID/Kenya and East Africa, Plan International, and Chemonics International. I have successfully managed financial portfolios ranging from $250,000 in individual project budgets to supporting oversight of multi-year mission portfolios averaging $500,000 annually, including a $2.2 billion USAID/Kenya and East Africa strategy across five years.

I bring a unique combination of analytical precision, strategic foresight, and people-centered leadership. I have a proven track record of strengthening internal controls, improving financial reporting systems, and developing finance teams to meet the highest performance standards.

Holding a Master’s in Business Administration (Finance), a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce (Accounting), and CPA (K) certification, I apply both technical and strategic competencies to deliver measurable impact in complex environments. My passion lies in supporting mission-driven organizations to scale results, ensure financial integrity, and contribute to sustainable development.

I am open to new global opportunities in finance leadership, particularly roles that require cross-cultural collaboration, strategic budgeting, and transformational team leadership.
