I am a Canadian national who began my career in 1989 with the Canadian federal department of agriculture investigating and assessing the feasibility of opportunities for agricultural diversification in Western Canada. In 1991 I took a field position overseeing the delivery of Plant Protection Programs in the province of Alberta, Canada, followed by a position in Ottawa, as the National Audit Officer, overseeing and auditing the delivery of the various Plant Protection and Seed Potato programs across Canada. I also worked with the Operations Branch of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, co-ordinating the national delivery of Canada’s Plant Product programs. As the Canadian International Standards Officer, I coordinated Canada’s position on phytosanitary standards and represented Canada at various international meetings, including the Interim Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (ICPM) and the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, I was a member of the North American Plant Protection Organization’s (NAPPO) working group and one of the North American representatives on the Commisoin on Phytosanitary Measures’ (CPM) Standards Committee. In 2002, I joined the IPPC Secretariat which is headquartered within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome, Italy as the Standards Officer. I was responsible for facilitating the CPM Standard Setting Process and related liaison work until February 2018. Since March 2018 I have taken over as the lead of the Implementation and Facilitation Unit of the IPPC Secretariat, I play the lead role in the Secretariat in supporting the implementation of the convention itself and the standards and recommendations adopted by the CPM and for coordinating the capacity development activities. I have organized several international workshops helping IPPC Contracting Parties to implement standards. In addition, I liaise with other international organizations, specifically with to build synergies and avoid duplication in supporting developing countries. As the implementation and capacity development activities of the IPPC Secretariat are project based, resource mobilization is another one of my main activities.
