I am a development economist with 14 years of experience in micro and small finance. I started my career with IPC at Centenary Rural Development Bank in Uganda. In 2000, I founded and managed the successful MEB (now ProCredit Bank) Kosovo 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 2010 I worked for Opportunity International, as advisor for Eastern Europe and later as Senior Vice President - Operations. Currently I am Chief Operating Officer at CEE Microfinance, a private equity-led microfinance holding company.
