About
I am a Finance and Budget Specialist with over 10 years of experience supporting United Nations agencies, international NGOs, and donor-funded programmes across Africa.

Throughout my career, I have managed and supported multi-country portfolios funded by institutions including the Global Environment Facility (GEF), World Bank, European Union, and other development partners. My experience includes providing financial oversight for portfolios valued at over USD 500 million, coordinating project audits, strengthening internal controls, supporting IPSAS-compliant financial reporting, and improving financial processes through data-driven solutions.
My technical expertise includes:
• Financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting
• Grants and donor-funded programme management
• Financial analysis and performance reporting
• Audit coordination and internal controls
• Risk management and compliance
• SAP Umoja, ERP systems, Power BI, and advanced Excel analytics
• IPSAS-based financial management
I have worked across the United Nations system, international NGOs, and development organizations, bringing together strong technical finance skills with a commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective resource stewardship.
I am passionate about using financial management as a strategic tool to support sustainable development, strengthen institutional effectiveness, and maximize the impact of programmes that improve lives and protect our planet.
