New Strategic Direction for a Leading International Organization

Client

CARE International

Reinventing humanitarian work from the ground up

For CARE International, a renowned humanitarian organization of more than 12,000 people, Vision 2030 was not just a statement but a transformative force. It revolutionized operations at every level and changed the very DNA of the organization. 

My Role

On a mandate from the Secretary-General and the National Directors, I directed teams at global, regional and country levels in adopting new operational, funding and program strategies. I collected and used data from across the organization, building a culture of fact-based decision making. I managed a cultural shift towards one of accountability to local  implementation partners and communities.

Results

The changes I implemented reached operations in 100 countries, bringing decisive improvements to program quality, KPIs and fundraising performance. These improvements were of crucial value when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The resulting focus and agility led to additional USD 200m in funding and 126 million more people getting vaccinated.
