At Challenge Works, Janet is a Senior Programme Manager designing and delivering some of our complex and scaling challenges. She is particularly interested in gender equity and women’s economic empowerment, entrepreneurship, and climate change, and is curious about how these link into the wider story of poverty alleviation and economic development.

Janet has a strong background in business processes, programme design,implementation, and direct client management. Before joining Challenge Works, she was COO for the SPRING Accelerator, supporting growth stage businesses in East Africa and South Asia to design products and services for adolescent girls. Prior to that she worked in other international development charities and in management consultancy. 

Outside of work Janet enjoys yoga and boxing – a combination that offers a surprising balance!
