I am a grants, programme and project management professional with advisory experience in the private and public sectors. Grants and programme management have formed the basis of my vast experience working through the following projects; the Sustainable Urban Economic Development (SUED) Programme, the Logistics Innovation for Trade (LIFT) Challenge Fund, the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF), the Strategic Climate Institutions Programme (SCIP) in Ethiopia and the London School of Economics (LSE). An additional layer of my robust experience falls under procurement having worked as a procurement advisor for TradeMark East Africa, Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector (GJLOS) Reform Programme, the Coffee Research Foundation (CRF), and as a procurement auditor for the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MoFED) in Ethiopia.

In the course of delivering the above assignments, I have also undertaken capacity building for programme partners as well as tracked and managed associated programme risks.
