Why work with me

Field-tested rigour, human-centred practice

I've spent 13+ years inside the organizations I now serve — ICRC, MSF, UNFPA, UNICEF, university hospitals and business schools — across HR, finance, investigations, safeguarding and programme management. I know how misconduct cases feel from the inside, and what it takes to resolve them properly.

That means investigations that respect both the people involved and the realities of field operations — delivered with the independence, discretion and analytical rigour your board and donors expect.
