Juba, Central Equatoria, South Sudan
I am an investigations professional with 20+ years of experience in serious and organized crime investigations, intelligence, cybersecurity, digital forensics, and security operations. My background spans European law enforcement (Polish National Police, EUPOL), cooperation with global agencies including Interpol, and work in complex humanitarian environments in post-conflict and post-emergency countries. I previously served in Liberia as the Head of Intelligence and Investigations Unit, leading intelligence support and capacity building initiatives for national law enforcement agencies. I bring deep expertise in cyber-enabled investigations, risk assessments, contingency planning, and the development of SOPs. Currently, I am an Investigation Team Leader with the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), with missions in Entebbe, Bangui, and now Juba, South Sudan. I’m always interested in new professional challenges and reconnecting with colleagues and partners — feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect.
