Tersoo Shitile

I am a skilled professional with expertise in Applied Economics – Operational Research (Evidence Gathering), Policy Development & Management, Project Management, Management Consulting, Problem Driven Iterative Adaptation, Statistics (Household & Market Survey Data Collection & Analytics), and Technical Writing. I have used my skills and knowledge for the past 16 years, and I intend to deliver excellence in this role based on my inherent ability and self-motivation to add value to the functional Team and Corporate Affairs.

I have strong global insight work skills, and a solid experience of diverse cultures and contexts – most particularly in the global south, having worked with the Central Bank of Nigeria (senior economist/policy analyst, Monetary Policy Committee Secretariat), the International Monetary Fund (economist, African Department), and DFID Nigeria (policy analyst, CoPoC) to design, organise, and deliver strategic policy initiatives with multi-disciplinary teams.

These previous roles also provided me with the opportunity to supervise qualitative and quantitative research from internal and external providers, as well as excellent problem-solving abilities.

I have over 15 years of quality stakeholder management experience, including the ability to develop partnerships with key individuals and organisations in the public and private sectors, as well as the ability to influence senior users and senior suppliers, which is required for managing a successful project and relationships.

I've also managed research, conference / event, and proposal development projects involving people from various fields of expertise, and I have strong interpersonal skills.

Willingness to Learn: While working in a new entity, I may lack relevant general and specialist knowledge of the organization's systems and policies; however, I am self-motivated and willing to learn in order to meet the acceptable measurable contribution/deliverables and satisfy the position objectives if given the opportunity.

I have strong global insight, policy development and evaluation, problem solving, project management, stakeholder management and technical writing  work skills, as well as a solid experience of diverse cultures and contexts – most particularly in the global south, having worked with the Central Bank of Nigeria (senior economist/policy analyst, Monetary Policy Committee Secretariat), the International Monetary Fund (economist, African Department), and DFID Nigeria (policy analyst, CoPoC) to design, organise, and deliver strategic policy initiatives with multi-disciplinary teams.
