His professional experience spans diplomatic missions, multilateral institutions, and policy environments across multiple continents. At the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Brazil, he led data analytics for diplomatic decision-making and delivered training and inclusion programmes to over 1,500 staff across Missions in Brazil, Germany, India, and Mexico, receiving two U.S. Consular Affairs Leadership Awards in 2023.
