I believe children are the most vulnerable ones amongst us and it is our role to ensure they are safe, have the rights and opportunities to be educated, and have a future.
That for me is the sole reason I followed my heart and passion in 2010 and moved from a successful career as Commercial (Tele)Sales Director in Australia to working in the NGO sector, specifically in international development and in particular to child focused organisations.
Following a period of volunteering in South Africa, I utilized my commercials skills and expertise for running a successful in-house F2F program for World Vision Australia. Several years later I transferred to the UK to set up and lead F2F in-house and agency programs for World Vision UK, followed by a position as National F2F and TM Manager for Save the Children UK. Starting 2016 I took a position as Global F2F Fundraising Specialist for Save the Children International, supporting 25 markets where Save the Children run fundraising programs.
As from November 2021 I am the Head of Individual Giving for Save the Children Switzerland, whilst also consulting on global matters to Save the Children International when needed. I continue to live in Spain, enjoying the sunny lifestyle and many tapas Spain has to offer. :)
