Former USAID Regional Director bringing two decades of field-tested expertise, regional networks, and institutional knowledge to organizations navigating the new landscape of international development.
The rules changed overnight. Federal development priorities, funding mechanisms, and compliance frameworks are in flux. Organizations that thrived under the old paradigm are scrambling to adapt.
You don't need another consultant with a PowerPoint deck. You need someone who spent 20 years inside the system—who knows which doors to knock on, which processes actually matter, and how to navigate bureaucracy that doesn't play by its own rules.
Institutional memory isn't just experience—it's relationships, regional knowledge, and the ability to see around corners. It's knowing who to call when policy contradicts reality. It's understanding how decisions actually get made, not how they're supposed to get made.
I spent two decades building the networks and expertise that turn strategy into results. Now that knowledge is available to you.
Budget cuts, priority realignments, and policy uncertainty mean yesterday's strategies won't work tomorrow. You need real-time intelligence and adaptive approaches.
Regulatory requirements are tightening while resources shrink. One misstep in procurement, reporting, or audit compliance can derail years of work.
Local partnerships matter more than ever, but building authentic relationships takes years. You need access to established networks that actually deliver.
Two decades of field experience distilled into strategic advisory services that bridge the gap between D.C. policy and regional reality.
Turn ambitious goals into executable, audit-proof plans. I design development programs that balance donor requirements, local political realities, and sustainable impact— without drowning in compliance theater.
Federal regulations aren't just complex—they're often contradictory. I translate USAID ADS, FAR, and OMB circulars into actionable guidance that keeps auditors happy and programs moving.
Development work lives or dies on relationships—with host governments, civil society, and donor agencies. I leverage decades of regional networks to accelerate partnerships that would normally take years to build.
Winning federal development contracts requires more than technical excellence—you need evaluator psychology, differentiation strategy, and positioning that makes reviewers remember you on page 47.
Twenty years of measurable impact across some of the world's most complex operating environments.

I don't just know the regulations—I know which ones actually matter and how to satisfy them without paralysis. Twenty years of federal compliance means knowing the shortcuts that keep auditors happy.
Regional networks take decades to build. Mine are already established—with government ministries, civil society leaders, and implementing partners across 15 countries. You get immediate access.
Small pilots die in committee. I know how to take proof-of-concept and turn it into regional programs—navigating the bureaucracy, securing buy-in, and maintaining momentum through transitions.
Let's discuss how institutional knowledge, regional networks, and two decades of field experience can help your organization thrive in this new landscape.
