About

As the Senior Regional Director, Africa, I am responsible for overseeing the management of International Development (ID) operations across Africa. In this role, I lead the growth and development of CABI’s ID operations in Africa and actively encourage a one-CABI approach by strengthening cross-centre collaboration in the fields of ID and knowledge business. Prior to this, I was CABI’s Group Portfolio Director responsible for CABI’s overall programme and project portfolio, reporting on performance across CABI and implementing systems to monitor and improve delivery and effectiveness.

I have more than 20 years’ experience in sound business development, financial and project management, programme controls and monitoring. I have gained practical experience through fieldwork and built capacity and effective partnerships from working globally, but with extensive experience in Africa.
