ABOUT SURAJ RANA
Executive Profile: With over 23 years of experience in the international development sector, I have established myself as a Senior Executive proficient in managing projects with a focus on profitability and growth. My expertise in developing, leading, and scaling businesses is evidenced by my success in increasing revenue by 300%, achieving £250 million over an eight-year period. My career has been characterized by my extensive experience in emerging markets, particularly in South and South-East Asia. I have successfully led and implemented large-scale, multi-partner infrastructure projects in high-risk environments across more than ten countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and the United Kingdom. My skills as a commercial negotiator are underpinned by a strong ability in risk evaluation, team management, and financial oversight. I have a proven track record in sourcing and delivering a diverse portfolio of projects, collectively valued at £177 million. In addition to my on-the-ground experience, I have contributed as a Board Director, advising on developing private sector infrastructure investment services in both developing and transitioning countries. This role involves navigating infrastructure opportunities, investment brokering, and project sponsorship. With long experience in the international development sector, I have enhanced my proficiency in managing complex consortia and development projects, and in stakeholder management across various levels, including donors, national governments, policymakers, and grassroots beneficiaries. Key Areas of Expertise and Skills: My expertise extends to programme formulation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation, underpinned by a strong understanding of Results Based Management principles. I am adept in fostering economic development and creating enabling environments for public, private, and foreign direct investments in infrastructure projects. This includes developing investment theses, conducting due diligence, drafting concept notes, and providing technical oversight and policy advocacy. My experience also encompasses obtaining government approvals, managing investments, and overseeing large multi-partner projects. I am skilled in assessing socio-economic impacts and demonstrating leadership through various phases of programme implementation. A key aspect of my role involves managing stakeholder relations to ensure the smooth and efficient progression of project goals.
