I work across strategy, financing, programme management, and applied research, translating rigorous analysis and experience into clear strategies and sound decisions.

Anker 1

With over three decades of experience, I have led and overseen the design, delivery, and strategic direction of large-scale programmes, organisational change processes, research, and evaluations in crisis-affected settings worldwide.

 

My work focuses on strengthening humanitarian action beyond immediate emergency response, particularly in situations marked by political transition, institutional fragility, and protracted crises.

 

Key strengths:

  • A distinctive combination of senior leadership experience and applied research expertise

  • Strategic oversight of large-scale programmes in crisis and transitional contexts

  • Design and strategic development of multi-donor funding mechanisms

  • Strengthening nationally led humanitarian action through equitable partnerships, access to resources, and decision-making

  • Clear communication and facilitation in diverse institutional and cultural settings

I am a member of the FCDO Humanitarian & Stabilisation Operations Team (HSOT) Roster, NORCAP, CARE International, and OXFAM's Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods (EFSL) Registers.
