I am a development economist with 15 years of experience in micro and SME finance. I started my career with IPC at Centenary Rural Development Bank in Uganda. In 2000, I founded and managed the successful Micro Enterprise Bank Kosovo (now PCB) on behalf of a group of international shareholders. In 2003 I moved to Angola where I co-founded and co-managed NovoBanco. At the same time I served as Regional Director Africa for ProCredit Holding. During my time at IPC/ ProCredit I have participated in numerous short term consultancies and assignments in Asia (Indonesia, Philippines) Africa (Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Mozambique, Ghana, DRC) and Eastern Europe (Bosnia, Albania, Poland).
During 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 I held the position of Director and General Manager of the newly established BiD Network Foundation, where I focused on the internal organisation and the roll-out of the local businessplan competitions in 7 developing countries.
From 2008 to early 2011 I worked for Opportunity International and its successor in Eastern Europe, CEE Microfinance in executive positions. I am now CEO at KEP Trust, the leading microfinance institution in Kosovo.
