About me

I have been working in the field of international relations for over 25 years either in conflict resolution or development cooperation, most of the time abroad, including the Middle-East and Africa.

Strengthening the capacities of organisations and people so that they can determine their own future has always been my passion.

I strongly believe in a close cooperation between public and private actors to promote sustainable economic development.

Currently I'm the Team Leader of the new Team Europe Initiative on Opportunity-Driven Skills and VET in Africa (TEI OP-VET) bringing the expertise of 4 European Agencies (Enabel, Expertise France, EDUFI and GIZ) together to align skills development and VET with the needs of the labour market. The programme is part of the Global Gateway Initiative.
