info
I am curious and i like to read and study on all kind of subjects. I want to make a difference in the world and work for people over profit.
That's probably why I ended up procuring things for the UN. Since 2010 I was involved in hundreds of tenders and contracts for the widest variety of things, from fuel to clinics, from roads to forecast ICT systems. All of this hoping to leave the world in better shape for generations to come.
I also worked on e-procurement systems, foreign direct investments, UN coordination, procurement regulations, sustainable procurement and data-driven decision making for procurement
You can see below that I worked for UNDP, IFAD, FAO, OSCE and WFP.
