I am a Senior Manager with more than thirty five years of work experience with multilateral organizations, particularly in the areas of project formulation, management and design; public sector procurement policy, budget and finance. Have lived in many countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and traveled extensively throughout the world, interacting at the highest levels of government and the private sector, negotiating complex technical and financial projects with governments in Asia, Africa, The Caribbean and Latin America. Have written extensively on the subject of public sector procurement; organized and led many international conferences and seminars on procurement policy and procedures, government efficiency and transparency and other key development issues. I am internationally recognized as a public sector procurement expert, an accomplished speaker, articulate and convincing, and a skilled negotiator. For the past decade, I have concentrated my work in Latin America and The Caribbean, acquiring a substantial knowledge of the economic and political trends and key players in the region, while carrying out complex assignments in politically sensitive areas.
