3. When did you start your career at German Sparkassenstiftung and what motivated you to work in international cooperation?
I started at German Sparkassenstiftung for International Cooperation in January 2011, motivated by the desire to use my experience in the financial sector in a more "meaningful" way and to take on a change of perspective. In addition, it appealed to me to work in a different cultural environment. Since 2011, I have been working in Kigali, Rwanda. I now serve as the Regional Coordinator for Eastern Africa, where German Sparkassenstiftung is present in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.
4. What valuable experience have you taken with you from your work at Sparkassen Finance Group to your project region?
I can bring my extensive banking expertise and many years of project experience to bear in my work in Eastern Africa, which adds a great deal of value. It is important to adapt good strategies and concepts to the individual needs of the partners in our project countries and to communicate and work at eye level with them.
