I embrace novel approaches to aid and peace practice that stretches capacities for sustainable futures in a complex, volatile and interconnected world.

“We live in a world in constant flux, with seemingly intractable challenges that have laid bare the inadequacy of existing solutions. ”
— Youssef Mahmoud

My work is committed to new forms of practice and leadership fit for addressing intractable problems in these unprecedented times of uncertainty and rapid change.

As our world is becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent, it is also becoming more unpredictable.

The nature of international development assistance is evolving to meet the demands of an increasingly complex world.

This often implies new and unfamiliar ways of working requiring novel ways of thinking, being and acting that stretch our individual and collective capacities.

In that stretch, I believe lies the possibility of creating more sustainable futures.
