Our team

I am the Team Leader of the GG ICR Facility, overseeing our work to support partner countries in advancing investment climate reforms and enabling sustainable economic development. In my role, I guide the strategic direction of the Facility, coordinate with implementing partners and donors and ensure that our technical assistance delivers tangible improvements for public institutions and the private sector.

I am motivated by shaping reforms that expand economic opportunities, strengthen inclusive growth and contribute to women’s economic empowerment — a topic that continues to inspire and drive my work.

I bring experience in economic policy, private sector development, and green transformation. Before joining the GG ICR Facility, I led employment and skills development projects as a GIZ Component Leader in Mozambique and advised BMZ on green growth and economic development. I also worked at the European Commission on economic reform processes in Cyprus. I hold a degree in Latin American Regional Studies and speak German, English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

I manage the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities of the GG ICR Facility. My work focuses on developing methods, tools, and guidelines for results-oriented M&E, ensuring data quality, and identifying lessons learnt and best practices across Global Gateway projects implemented in INTPA countries.

With a background in International Relations and a specialisation in Global Political Economy, I previously coordinated the M&E activities of the predecessor ICR Facility. I am delighted to continue contributing to this mission together with a highly motivated and diverse team.

I am an economist who believes that stronger, fairer societies begin when people have the opportunity to thrive. My work focuses on private sector development, investment climate reform and trade facilitation in emerging economies.

In my role, I coordinate the technical assistance projects of the GG ICR Facility. Every day, I collaborate with public institutions, businesses and EU partners who share a simple conviction: when governments and the private sector truly listen to one another, better policies emerge and people benefit. What motivates me is seeing a complex reform become something real, something that makes life a little easier for entrepreneurs, workers and their communities.

My path spans more than 15 years across the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Ford Foundation and advisory roles for various governments around the world. Over time I have learned that meaningful change rarely comes from pre-defined recipes. It grows from consistent, thoughtful actions that build momentum.

I’m the Interim Project Lead for Expertise France within the new GG ICR Facility, coordinating technical assistance interventions that foster sustainable, inclusive, and investment-ready business environments in partner countries.

What I find particularly engaging in this role is the opportunity to bridge strategic priorities with concrete action: supporting reforms and institutional capacity building that help local actors, including Development Finance Institutions, create the conditions for quality investments aligned with the Global Gateway’s ambitions.

Every day, I strive to bring the work of the GG ICR Facility to life. I lead internal and external communications. My daily tasks focus on raising the profile of the Facility’s work by creating accessible and impactful digital content and communications material. My work goes beyond sharing information, it’s about sparking dialogue and building bridges.

With a background in International Relations and Geography (University of St Andrews) and International Humanitarian Action (NOHA Consortium), I am passionate about navigating a changing geopolitical landscape. What drives me most is working within a motivated, international and diverse team that is committed to bringing meaningful, sustainable change in line with the Global Gateway strategy.

I am a Technical Advisor at the GG ICR Facility, where I design and implement interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia — working closely with Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) to foster sustainable investment and private sector development.

With over 10 years of experience in economic policy, private sector development, and financial sector reform, I support the Facility’s mission to connect economies and drive impactful reforms. I have been working with GIZ since 2015 and bring over 10 years of experience in economic policy, private sector development, and financial sector development. I am passionate about making collaboration between different actors more efficient, working with people from diverse countries and cultures, and learning new languages.

I am an Advisor in the Global Gateway ICR Facility, leading our technical assistance interventions to create enabling business and investment environments. Since 2022, when I joined the ICR team, I support public authorities and businesses in our partner countries to engage in a public-private dialogue approach to reform policies, facilitate regional economic integration, and improve trade and labour laws.

I have a background in political science and public administration, and bring 8 years of experience in international affairs and development, having worked as a political advisor in an international organisation, and on several EU-funded projects across Southeast Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean region.

I am the Component Lead in the GG ICR Facility for Expertise France. My role revolves around supervision, management and strategic guidance as well as implementation of activities.

I enjoy working within a multicultural team, motivated to drive change for more inclusive and enabling business environments. I have a Master’s degree from Université Paris-Dauphine in International Economics and Development and eight years of professional experience as an Economist and Policy Analyst at the OECD (PARIS21), the UNSDSN, the ECB, Société Générale and more recently working as a technical adviser for the Lord Mayor of the Kanifing Municipal Council in the Gambia. I speak Arabic, French, English and Spanish.

I am the Office Manager and Team Assistant of the GG ICR Facility.
In my role, I coordinate daily operations, manage administrative workflows, and provide support to team members across all components. I am driven by the goal of being a backbone that enables the team to perform at its best through a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach. I enjoy problem-solving, anticipating needs, and helping colleagues work more efficiently.

I joined the Facility in August 2025 as the SNV Team Leader, coordinating our technical assistance interventions to enable sustainable and inclusive business environments.

I am particularly drawn to the Facility’s demand-driven approach which ensures strong stakeholder ownership. With my background in strategy and change management, I aim to contribute to the transformative processes alongside our technical support.

My previous roles include serving as SNV’s global strategy advisor, supporting entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia in the clean energy/water sector at an NGO in Phnom Penh, and working at the World Bank in Washington, DC, on water and sanitation projects.
