Work Experience

Interim financial controller, MSF-H Mexico
Oaxaca, June 2001 – September 2001
An interim position with Doctors without Borders Mexico to bridge the gap between the leaving and the new financial controller, in which I supervised five people. I found the political context of the mission very interesting. I particularly enjoyed to work on team building in Oaxaca, and to get to know the field teams and their ways of working in Chiapas.

Financial controller, MSF-H El Salvador
San Salvador, June 1999 – February 2001
For 20 months I was responsible for financial control, national human resources management and some legal matters of the El Salvador mission of Doctors without Borders. I supervised and coached up to nine people. The mission changed from a stable water and sanitation programme to a big emergency programme after two major earthquakes struck El Salvador in January and February 2001. Working in an emergency was very demanding.
What I enjoyed most in this job was being member of a team of international staff, all with different backgrounds, and finding my own position among them. Beside that, it was interesting to see the MSF principles translated into action under different circumstances.

Staff member environmental economics, Department of Environmental Control Amsterdam, 1992-1999
This department is known for its creativity, expertise and political feel. In the first couple of years I advised on various environmental investments. Later I initiated and carried out several research projects related to environmental economics, involving counterparts in policy changes and seeking publicity.

Research on Unilevers marketing strategy and social policy at the Indian tea market; National India Committee (practical); India, 1990
