The experience I bring to World Academy comes from extensive and broad international involvement in both the private and non-profit sectors. For the last 20 years, I have worked with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in Senior Executive positions in North America and Africa, and have provided coordination and oversight support to missions in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, India, Pakistan, Russia, Syria, Europe and the U.K.
Having travelled to over 83 countries, worked in 8 countries spanning 3 continents, I offer a rich global perspective on different cultures and nuances.
World Academy’s social online learning platform provides the interconnectedness and global knowledge that will result in Pluralism and a more vibrant Civil Society. As the Ambassador & Advisor for World Academy, I promote the Academy’s interests world wide, especially with regards to Social Enterprise initiatives.
