With over 40 years as an entrepreneur my compassion was ignited as a humanitarian which fueled my passion to give people the opportunity to thrive. I am grateful to have spent my working life with people around the world that offer intelligent, innovative thinking, and are motivated to collaborate for the greater good. I have provided senior leadership to several board of directors, senior management teams, and consultancy to executive leaders within the non-profit sector. I am a collaborative leader that thrives in environments that foster collective intelligence. Since 2010 I have developed extensive experience Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) humanitarian programs including disaster relief response. I get excited about bridging programs with international and local partners. I have participated on various sector groups in which I used program expertise and field experience to influence WASH programs. Getting into the field, meeting families, local government leaders, stakeholders is a favourite part of my career. Multi-sectoral stakeholder management has offered me extensive experience in forging partnerships that bring non-profit, for-profit, government, and multinationals together on a common mission. It has been both a challenging and exciting journey to be part of the global network for the humanitarian mission. One aspect of my work that I find particularly gratifying is witnessing the transformative growth of those I coach. It is incredibly fulfilling to see them achieve remarkable heights in both their professional and personal lives. As a mentor, I am committed to empowering individuals to realize their full potential, break through barriers, and attain success. This process of nurturing talent and fostering development has not only enriched the lives of those I've coached, but has also provided me with immense personal satisfaction and a deeper understanding of the power of guidance and support in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
