I’ve been with the ILO for 20 years, and what keeps me here is the same thing that first drew me in: the chance to turn ideas about fairness and opportunity into something real. Currently I manage a large ILO development cooperation programme focused on creating inclusive growth and decent jobs. I’m very committed to the people side of leadership. I wasn’t born a natural people-person, so I put a lot of effort into building my self-awareness and understanding our human messiness that shapes how we work and behave. It makes me a better manager and helps me support my team. Along the way, I have been very fortunate to have learned from exceptional people around the world, and I try to pass that on through coaching and mentoring.
I manage two large-scale ILO Programmes to improve productivity and working conditions in SMEs with a 20 Million USD budget and 25 staff members. The Productivity Ecosystems for Decent Work Programme targets key economic sectors in Vietnam, Ghana and South Africa while the ILO SCORE Programme provides training and consulting to SMEs in emerging markets.
- Project management of the global ILO Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) Programme which aims to improve productivity and working conditions in global supply chains. 1,500 companies from developing and emerging economies in Asia, Africa and Latin America have improved performance and compliance through our assistance. - Developed a M&E system to track supplier performance on triple bottom line indicators and, as the first ILO project, passed an audit against the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) results measurement standard. - Advocacy for responsible business practices in line with international and national labour standards.
