Prior to establishing my consulting company, I served from 2014-2023 as the Deputy Director of the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (RHSC), a partnership of 500+ public entities, private corporations, and civil society organizations working together to ensure that everyone in low- and middle-income countries can access and use affordable, high-quality reproductive health supplies. In my role, I was responsible for co-managing the operations of the global Secretariat 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 led private sector and European partner engagement as well as the RHSC’s operations in francophone Africa.
I also directed the planning of the RHSC’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 the RHSC, I worked for 11 years for Population Services International (PSI). 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. Based on my experience, he was invited to serve as a member of the global PSI strategic planning committee.
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, West Africa.
