ABOUT MARIA B.

I am a forward-thinking senior executive with nearly three decades of experience in profit and not-for-profit sectors. I am known for my ability to drive growth and implement strategic change, and I have a proven track record in setting up new organisations and optimising existing operations. My work has led to significant improvements in the financial sustainability and social impact of the organisations I\'ve been a part of. I have successfully led significant change projects and established operations across continents.My expertise spans strategic development, financial management, fundraising, and stakeholder engagement. However, what truly drives me is my unwavering commitment to addressing global poverty and social inequality. This mission is not just a part of my work, but it\'s what inspires and motivates me every day. I serve as the Interim Chief Operating Officer at the Africa Research Excellence Fund and the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment and as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, overseeing fundraising and finance for the Sociological Review Foundation. My commitment to addressing global issues is matched only by my dedication to personal growth and development. I am currently pursuing an Executive MBA and hold various leadership, project management, and change management certifications. This commitment to continuous professional development ensures that I am always equipped with the latest knowledge and skills, ready to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow.
