PROFILE
I am a mature, highly motivated manager with a proven track record in Humanitarian and
Business/Project Management both rural and urban contexts in the environments of Haiti.
I am highly committed to my work, flexible and adaptable to change and excited by meeting
new challenges.
I have strong leadership skills and a proven capacity to think “outside the box”, using lateral
thinking and encouraging a participative approach with others.
I have highly developed interpersonal skills and am able to build and sustain successful working
relationships at all levels and across cultural differences
I have a proven track record in capacity-building, training and coaching students, colleagues and
partner organizations.
During my 15 years of work experience as a Manager I have delivered successful programs and
projects following principles and standards in key areas such as gender, diversity, monitoring &
evaluation, reinforcement and capacity building, accountability and the participation of the
beneficiaries during the entire project cycle.
In Haiti, after the earth quake, at Oxfam and other NGOs, I have excelled working in new
circumstances:
Effectively influencing staff and external stakeholders, such as partners, local authorities in
assisting to develop new and more effective strategies to tackle the effects of corruption in
order to reach real victims of the earthquake.
Leading and helping effective changes to assure accountability, community participation,
and effective transparency between OGB staff, partners and community base organizations
(CBO).
Effectively and efficiently managing/distributing large sums of money (in excess of US$ 5
to10 million) as Basic Human Needs grants and Livelihoods through OGB traditional partners
and unorganized community base organizations (CBO) in complex and fraudulent
environments, without any failure and serious issues.
I put in place a networking accountability space of 70 based organizations in the area of
Carrefour-Feuilles (Port-au-Prince) to facilitate NGOs intervention and support the process
of participative planning for the reconstruction of Port-au-Prince after the EQ
I led an urban participatory planning process financed by UN-Habitat to determine project
needed by the community.
