I served as Director in the Europe and Asia Division at ACDI/VOCA, where I supervised eight overseas offices; 10 microfinance and rural finance institutions; and agribusiness and SME development programs. As ACDI/VOCA’s Russia Country Representative and Chief of Party for the Russia Farmer-to-Farmer Program in Moscow, I facilitated technical assistance to more than 250 agribusinesses, private farmers, and financial institutions per year through short-term U.S. volunteer consultants. I also established and implemented the Russian-American Lending Program for rural credit cooperatives supported jointly by USDA and USAID. As the U.S. government representative responsible for this $6 million rural credit fund, I co-chaired the Supervisory Council of the Rural Credit Cooperation Development Fund (RCCDF). During that time, RCCDF provided $3 million in loans to 22 credit cooperatives, while maintaining less than 1 percent delinquency. The Russian rural credit cooperative system remains sustainable today.
