About
My professional background is in Project Management/Coordination and Human Resource Development. I have 40 years of professional experience. The past 37 years I worked exclusively in development aid projects aiming at poverty reduction and improvement of living conditions of vulnerable groups of people.
My experiences are in Project Management, covering the entire project cycle, with a focus on result oriented output and its respective monitoring. Lately I worked more in positions associated to organizational development and capacity building of local partner institutions and activities associated to the adaptation to climate change and Disaster Risk Reduction. The positions I hold in the past range from project collaborator to project leader and National/Regional Sector Coordinator. While working with, and leading large multi-disciplinary teams I gained professional, as well as cultural experience in remote areas of Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Lesotho, Nepal, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Pakistan and Paraguay.
My strengths are in management and program coordination/implementation, in human resource development, capacity building, private sector promotion, policy dialogue, institutional development and project management including planning, organizing, monitoring and evaluation. Besides my professional capacity, which I demonstrated in the past, my ability to interact and establish a rapport with local stakeholders, at all levels, are valuable skills and attributes for working in the development aid sector and related programs. My professional career has provided me the opportunity to learn from and adapt to complex and fragile contexts.
