About Me

I am a Corruption Prevention and Response Specialist with experience in the humanitarian aid sector.

My work focuses on preventing, detecting and responding to corruption, ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most.

As a Certified Fraud Examiner (ACFE), Safeguarding Investigator (CHS) and Criminologist specializing in fraud and corruption, I currently lead the German Red Cross Corruption Prevention and Response Cluster for International Cooperation.

My Background and Experience

My experience in International Disaster Management has given me firsthand insights of humanitarian operations and the challenges organizations face in protecting their staff, resources, reputation and beneficiaries.

I support aid organizations to identify risks, build capacity and to respond to cases of corruption or other misconduct.

Through practical guidance, in-depth training tailored to the humanitarian sector and specialized forensic services, I empower my clients to enhance accountability, resilience and integrity -

protecting both their missions and the communities they serve.

Let's work together to keep humanitarian aid effective, efficient and ethical!
