A dynamic and results-driven leader with over two decades of experience in international development, water, climate change/finance, and agricultural resilience. With a proven track record in spearheading large-scale water, agriculture, and climate adaptation projects across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, I bring a wealth of expertise in managing multidisciplinary teams and driving impactful solutions in complex environments.In my recent roles, I led the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC) research consortium, delivering critical insights into sustainable agriculture and livelihoods from 2020 to 2023. I also played a leadership role at Cowater International as VP for Water, Climate and Environment (2016-2020), where I directed high-impact projects focused on climate resilience, resource management, and rural development. My strategic oversight ensured that programs not only met their targets but also created long-lasting benefits for communities. Passionate about driving meaningful change, I am currently focused on advancing climate risk insurance, sustainable agriculture, and gender-sensitive adaptation projects. I am also deeply engaged in the climate finance landscape, with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, where I have supported governments in developing climate finance strategies and securing vital funding for adaptation and mitigation initiatives. My goal is to foster innovative partnerships and develop policies that not only address climate risks but also empower the most vulnerable populations.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
In 2022, I founded In Exchange: Water, Climate and Environment - a firm dedicated to supporting effective development initiatives through research and implementation support. In Exchange provides research and implementation support in the development sector on climate change action, notably in the water resource sector. As of January 2024, we are working with clients such as Cowater International, the IDRC, and the Climate Risk Institute.

Leadership of a 6-year $30M FCDO-funded programme on research into agriculture in crisis affected states (African Sahel, Somalia, Syria, South Sudan etc.). Cowater International is the lead firm in partnership with the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and Mercy Corps. The programme has delivered over 100 research outputs; developed two long term research programmes (on agricultural innovation and on rural lives in conflict zones); conducted over 50 consultations – mostly with UK Government agencies and knowledge networks; developed a programme website (www.sparc-knowledge.org); and designed all systems and policies for procurement, gender, research management and communications. I also led the pivot of the programme to adapt under Covid-19 conditions; the programme was awarded an “A+” rating for effective delivery in 2021-2022. SPARC research from Somalia has been cited as a “must read” by the Head of Humanitarian programmes in the UK Government. Successfully leveraged an additional $3M in partnership grants for the programme.
