A versatile and highly professional project manager with a wealth of experience in providing strategic direction and comprehensive delivery of a diverse range of international assignments, I bring with me the knowledge and vision to create and lead on world class programmes. Proficient in preparing financial projections, I am exceptionally accomplished in securing short and long term funding and sustainable income from sources including the European Union and the United Nations. As a talented negotiator, I ensure the procurement of services and resources at favourable rates, to support the delivery of services, achieving best value whilst preserving valuable assets and maintaining excellent standards. Utilising sound management techniques, I coordinate significant, high profile services and activities, monitoring all stages of the lifespan of each work stream, consummately reviewing and evaluating to achieve responsive and quality provision for individuals and countries with complex needs. Dynamic and driven, I take pride in having exceeded the expectations of all stakeholders and I am seeking a fresh challenge in an ethical and forward thinking organisation where my talents and track record will be a great asset and where I may continue to provide an exemplary level of expertise in project directorship.
