Risk & Crisis Management

The world is uncertain and sometimes bad things happen. Are you aware of what could happen? Are you equipped to manage if the worst happens?

I am adept at identifying and managing risks and issues at strategic, group, team and project levels. I am experienced leading in a crisis, particularly building credibility with donors despite notifying of significant delivery, financial and reputational impacts of evolving complex situations. I am certified in Management of Risk.

My experience includes:

  • Managing £20m of delivery risk by actively liaising with donors during a significant in-country incident of financial wrong-doing.

  • Notifying donors, through consortium partners, of safeguarding incidents.

  • Development of a project risk approach for a DFID-funded grant.

  • Risk management for a sensitive UK-government funded project in the Middle East.

  • Global horizon scanning for political risks to institutional funding portfolio.

  • Development and management of proportionate risk and issue processes and strategic, team and project levels

  • Collaborative approach to assessing risk and identifying responses

  • Identification of risk mitigation approaches and management of mitigations

  • Building credibility through proactivity, transparency and sensitivity to donor needs when managing significant incidents

  • Calm, measured and strategic responses to developing crisis situations

“I have been so impressed with the way you have advised on and navigated some potentially difficult situations with Institutional Donors. Your key role has helped to maintain and grow some very important income streams.”
