What do you like most about the World Bank's working culture?

I most appreciate that the World Bank strongly encourages development assignments. These are typically one-year assignments in which staff join another team to develop a related skill set. Staff apply for these assignments to pursue their passions, and some have used it to explore a new interest or share their expertise.

Why did you join the World Bank?

I joined to be a part of a team at the forefront of financial innovation while working to end poverty. Treasury has made many firsts, including the first formalized swap agreement in 1981 and issuing the world's first blockchain bond.

If you could rewind, what would you have told yourself on Day One?

I would tell myself to grow my network within the World Bank. the bank. With over 10,000 employees, the institution has many colleagues willing to share their knowledge and expertise when asked.

What teams do you work with the most?

I mainly work with the cash settlements and quantitative solutions teams.
