Under my leadership and vision, The Union has expanded its global portfolio of projects and forged new strategic partnerships, including with the Global Fund, USAID, DFID, and Bloomberg Philanthropies. In addition to establishing the renowned International Management Development Program (IMDP), which has trained more than 4,000 managers from 30 countries. I have strengthened the organisation’s programmatic and operational functions. In 2014, I co-founded the Global TB Caucus, an international network of over 2,300 parliamentarians from more than 132 countries, with the Rt. Hon. Nick Herbert MP, of the UK, to accelerate progress against the tuberculosis epidemic. This revolutionary initiative remains one of the world’s largest political networks dedicated to advancing a global health priority. The Union's currently has a global staff of 850 and over 5,000 community health worker volunteers.
As Director of Finance and Development, I helped grow the budget from US $4 million to $50 million annually. In addition, worked in key projects such as the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use. I pushed The Union to the forefront by designing an effective international grants management infrastructure that made possible that rapid implementation of the FIDELIS and Bloomberg Initiative grants programmes in almost 100 countries.
