Prior to establishing my consulting company in May 2023, I served from 2014-2023 as a Deputy Director at PATH. In my role, I was responsible for co-managing the operations of the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition including strategy development and execution, fundraising and grant writing, external representation and public speaking. I supervised technical staff responsible for implementing global and regional initiatives focused on supply chain management, market dynamics and advocacy. I directed the global campaign to reduce product stockouts, "Take Stock," from conceptualization to implementation.
I also directed the planning of the organization’s annual General Membership Meeting which hosts 300+ participants from more than 50 countries over five days and takes place in a different city each year. During my tenure, this included Kathmandu, Brussels, Seattle, Oslo, and Mexico City.
Prior to joining PATH, I worked for 11 years for Population Services International. This included serving as the Country Director in Madagascar, a program which had a $20 million annual budget from multiple donors and 300+ employees. During my tenure, I revitalized and strengthened the 10-year-old program with a new strategic plan, organizational restructuring and streamlined internal systems. Upon completion of this position, I was promoted to be the Deputy Director of the Southern Africa region where I co-supervised a multi-country portfolio with a $130 million annual operating budget and led the transition of a large-scale regional NGO project to a profitable commercial business which continues to grow year-on-year and serves as a model for similar operations in other regions.
A dual citizen of the US and Belgium, I hold a master’s degree in international affairs and economics from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guinea and Trainer in Senegal, West Africa.
When I’m not working or reading, I spend much of my free time outside swimming, cycling, running and hiking through the Pacific Northwest.
