I am a bilingual humanitarian leader with more than 20 years of combined experience with UNHCR and the BBC World Service. I have led national operations, sub-office, field offices, and multidisciplinary teams across West and Central Africa.
I specialize in humanitarian access, security risk management, emergency operations, incident management, and operational continuity in complex and unstable environments. I translate contextual and risk analysis into practical operational priorities, contingency plans, and decision-ready briefings.
I have managed responses to refugee influxes, cross-border movements, conflict-related displacement, and recurring security incidents. My experience includes maintaining assistance and protection activities while balancing speed, quality, staff safety, and organizational risk.
I work closely with government authorities, UN agencies, NGOs, community leaders, security actors, and operational partners to strengthen access, acceptance, coordination, and crisis response. I am experienced in institutional representation, negotiation, advocacy, and sensitive communications.
I am a calm and autonomous field leader who develops teams, improves operational systems, and supports colleagues working under pressure. I am available for frequent field deployments and international assignments.
