Not a CV. The themes underneath one.
Twenty-odd years of professional life arranged by what the work was actually about, rather than by employer and date. The chronology is available if you want it, but it is the less interesting document.
Humanitarian Leadership
Leading country and regional operations in complex environments, where the job is less about strategy documents and more about judgement under pressure with incomplete information.
Organisational Transformation
Taking organisations that had grown crooked and straightening them — structure, culture, accountability — usually while they continued to operate.
Partnerships
Building the relationships between governments, donors, private actors and communities that determine whether anything gets done, long before the memorandum is signed.
Resource Mobilisation
Raising and stewarding significant funding, and arguing — sometimes unsuccessfully — for it to be spent on what works rather than what reports well.
Programme Leadership
Designing and running programmes at scale, with a persistent bias towards asking the people affected what they actually need.
Enterprise & Advisory
Advisory work and entrepreneurship, on the conviction that African prosperity will be built by African firms rather than delivered by anyone.
