Affiliations and Achievements:
As a seasoned leader with over 30 years of global experience, I am thrilled to apply for this position. My career has encompassed health, emergency and disaster responses, economic diversification, poverty eradication, and education, focusing on reducing economic disparity for children and adults from underserved and underprivileged backgrounds.
My professional journey is deeply rooted in a steadfast commitment to fostering social and economic growth. Over the past two decades, I have collaborated with and expanded various nonprofits and international development organizations, significantly supporting their sustainability. As a beneficiary of such opportunities, I am deeply committed to giving back to society.
My background is predominantly in finance, operations, and strategic vision, creating meaningful and measurable impacts. I have led various teams to achieve the long-term sustainability goals of the organizations I have worked with. Throughout the years, I have played a key role in generating over $100 million in funding for organizations across Africa, Asia, South America, and North America. This has been achieved primarily through strategic partnerships with foundations and federal/state departments. I have worked on grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, CNCS (AmeriCorps), USAID, CDC, NIH, and PEPFAR. Additionally, I have scaled three newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to self-sustaining entities, covering finance and accounting, HR, IT, operations, business development, regulatory compliance, and team development.
My proficiency in finance, HR, IT, and strategy and my experience in fundraising, business development, and public-private partnerships uniquely position me to apply for this position. I am confident that I can bring a fresh perspective and innovative solutions to the table.
Moreover, I have served and continue to serve as a board member and chair of the audit and finance committee for various nonprofit and research organizations. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the key deliverables, intricacies of the work, and the required expectations of managing an organization successfully.
