Exploring diverse cultures through travel
Since 1999, I have been driven by a commitment to building a fairer world, bringing together expertise in leadership, strategic fundraising, and impactful communication.
My career has been defined by a global perspective, with nearly a decade spent outside Europe, shaping strategies that blend cultural understanding with innovative approaches to engagement and growth.
I specialize in fostering dynamic and high-performing teams, adeptly managing remote and diverse staff across multiple continents.
Currently, as the Global Fundraising Director at Amref Health Africa's HQ, I lead efforts to expand our global Individual Giving programs and oversee transformative initiatives that align strategy with impact. My role reflects not just a focus on fundraising but also a dedication to cultivating collaborative environments that drive sustainable change.
Inspired by the Rule of Benedictus, I prioritize balance, stewardship, and a community-focused mindset in my work. This philosophy guides my leadership style, emphasizing shared purpose, ethical decision-making, and long-term vision.
As a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) and active member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) since 2006, I bring a wealth of experience across five continents, spanning marketing communication, strategic relationship management, investment funding, and content development.
