Professional Experience:
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to express my interest in securing a Managerial position within your organization. I hold a PhD in International Economic Relations and a Master of Business Administration degree candidate at George Herbert Walker School of Business & Technology Webster University specializing in Management and Technology.
I am an American expat based in Kyiv-Ukraine. Ten years of experience in Iraq and over six years in Ukraine, the GCC & Afghanistan implementing successful Marketing & Communications programs. 10+ years of public relations experience overall, including corporate communications, community outreach, media liaison, stakeholder relations, crisis communications, branding and event management.
Recent work has included Business Development, Project Reporting / Program Analysis, and Acquisition Project Management. I'm a strong leader with experience managing 50+ multinational staff, a natural networker with top-notch people skills, and a social media expert. My personal and professional network in the Middle East / Asia region includes hundreds of contacts, both expat & local nationals. This network is the hard-won result of several years forging essential peer-to-peer and interagency relationships, and it enables unparalleled access to key decision- makers, information and resources throughout the region.
In Ukraine I am working with numerous organizations implementing reconstruction, capacity development and community stabilization programs and have had extensive interaction with Iraqi ministries and key Ukrainian leaders at both a local & national level.
I believe that my overall experiences might be of an essential value to your organization.
