Professional Experience:
By joining your team, you will have a colleague in me whose career, for more than 15 years, has been focused largely on auditing (internal and external), accounting, public sector finance management, project development, project control (internal audit), project/program management, etc. with private firm, NGOs, Government of Liberia and the United Nations (UNHCR – Liberia and UNHCR – Yemen). These experiences are very relevant to the design, implementation and support of financial management systems and administrative operations which, amongst others, is a key requirement for lead finance positions.
These experiences involved providing emergency relief (Ivorian refugees in Liberia), repatriation assistance (Liberian refugee returnees to Lofa County largely from Guinea and Sierra Leone), care and maintenance assistance and local integration of ex-refugees (local integration of Sierra Leonean refugees in western Liberia), care and maintenance assistance for IDPs (Al Mazraq Camps in Haradh, Yemen), working with ex-combatants (providing financial assistance to the 52 most feared rebel generals at the end of the Liberian Civil War). And I, now and most recently, have worked on development banks funded projects (like the World Bank funded STAR-P, RETRAP, and LIFT-P), and the audit of both public and private institutions.
I have worked in some of the most difficult (if not dangerous) duties stations like immediate post-war Voinjama in northwestern Liberia and in Sana’a and Haradh, Yemen.
