Meet Tina Rohner and know what excites her in her role as a Young Professional.

1. What is it like to work in ADB
Working in ADB is a really great experience. I have colleagues from all over the world from
such a diverse range of backgrounds that I learn something new every day. The work
environment is very collegial, and gives ample opportunity to challenge yourself and work
on interesting projects.
Describe your journey in ADB as a Young Professional.
I joined the private sector department and spent my first year working with the funds team
where I was focused on ADB investments into private equity funds that offer
both commercial returns and clear development impact. Currently I am working with
the financial institutions team where I focus on both debt and equity transactions with banks
and microfinance institutions. I am currently working on transactions in Georgia, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.
“I am excited about
using my finance
background to make a
meaningful
developmental impact.”

What have you accomplished so far and what excites you
in your current role?
I am excited about using my finance background to make a meaningful developmental
impact. For example, I have worked on transactions through which ADB's funding was lent
to small farmers and MSMEs. Visiting end beneficiaries of our funding and seeing first hand
the impact that ADB can have is very motivating.
