Testimonials

 

Christine is smart, passionate and extremely hard-working - the holy trinity we all look for in our leaders. Christine's unflagging ability and willingness to simply do what needed to be done, regardless of how challenging it might be, was essential in guiding a fast-growing social startup through the incredibly tricky territory of rapid growth and scarce resources in one of the most volatile and least understood areas of the world. Christine is a remarkably capable operator, a seasoned professional, and after two years working together in service to a better world, a trusted and reliable friend.

Christine is one of the strongest colleagues I have worked with. She has the rare ability to think long-term and strategically to consider all aspects of a project while following up with every detail along the way. Christine quickly gained the trust of colleagues across each department at headquarters as well as her program staff in the field. She was able to find solutions to all problems, providing genuine technical support to her programs - from catching up a delayed grants program in Iraq, to correcting the process of a value chain analysis in Lebanon. When it came down to it, Christine was the only colleague whom I could entrust with my entire portfolio knowing that she would manage my programs even better than me. Not only that, she engages colleagues, partners, and donors kindly and with such integrity that she is highly respected and very well liked.
