Working Chloe has always been an absolute pleasure. She can not only analyze political situations flawlessly, she is also a good manager and a fun person to spend time with. Chloe’s strength is her ability to find constructive solutions in difficult situations: a post-conflict environment, far away from the provincial capital, under time pressure and with little support or full understanding of her department. While doing so Chloe also managed to build a magnificent team and delivered excellent results in education and peace building.
