Senior programme and operations leader with 15+ years of experience delivering large-scale infrastructure, housing, and urban resilience initiatives across Eastern Europe. My work bridges humanitarian response, reconstruction, and built environment systems — from housing recovery programmes and municipal resilience strategies to complex infrastructure delivery and public-private partnerships. I have led multi-site reconstruction portfolios serving over 2,000 beneficiaries in partnership with international organisations, ensuring full donor compliance and alignment with humanitarian standards. In parallel, I design and implement operational and governance systems for urban resilience and recovery programmes, coordinating with municipalities, UN agencies, and development partners. Prior to transitioning into the humanitarian and development sector, I founded and scaled construction and infrastructure companies delivering nationally significant projects, including major sports and transport infrastructure. This background enables me to navigate the full programme lifecycle — from strategy and financing to implementation and delivery at scale.
