About
Project Management and Strategic Leadership
I support organisations to move from strong ideas to credible, well-managed delivery. My approach combines strategic leadership with practical project management, helping teams build programmes that are clear in purpose, strong in execution, and grounded in the realities of the communities they serve. I have led donor-funded projects, organisational strategy, field operations, stakeholder coordination, and reporting processes across complex and often hardship settings, working with UN agencies, governments, NGOs, academic institutions, and refugee-led organisations.
What I deliver
End-to-end project and programme management, from planning and workplans to implementation follow-up, risk management, quality assurance, and reporting
Strategic leadership for organisations and initiatives, including operational structures, governance processes, decision-making frameworks, and team coordination
Multi-stakeholder coordination across governments, UN agencies, civil society, academic institutions, and community-based actors
Donor-compliant delivery systems, including budget oversight, tracking tools, reporting cycles, and audit-ready documentation
Results frameworks, theories of change, and implementation models that connect strategy to measurable outcomes
Management reporting, KPI tracking, and practical systems that improve accountability, follow-up, and internal coordination
Team leadership and capacity strengthening, including supervision, workflow management, and support for staff, volunteers, and partners
Ideal for
Organisations managing donor-funded programmes that need stronger structure, coordination, and delivery oversight
UN agencies, NGOs, and institutions looking to improve programme design, implementation systems, and partner alignment
Refugee-led and grassroots organisations seeking strategic support while maintaining community-driven priorities
Teams working across multiple stakeholders or locations that need clearer planning, stronger follow-up, and better reporting processes
Institutions that want to connect policy priorities with practical implementation in complex migration, protection, or inclusion contexts
Recent example
As Founder and CEO of Global Rights Defenders, I have provided executive and operational leadership for a growing organisation working on refugee rights, migration governance, and socio-economic inclusion. This has included leading project-cycle delivery from planning through implementation and reporting, supervising a mixed team of more than 40 staff and volunteers, managing partnerships with UN agencies, government authorities, and INGOs, and overseeing field-based work in contexts such as Kakuma Refugee Camp. Alongside organisational leadership, I have built reporting and KPI systems, managed donor-facing deliverables, supported governance and budget oversight, and ensured that programmes remain both strategically focused and grounded in field realities.
