Bio
Alexandra Matei
I have been working with Kai for at least 5 years in different roles and capacities. His peacebuilding expertise and capacity building skills are impressionable and I have been a direct beneficiary of these! He is also an excellent speaker able to galvinise support for any cause he sets his mind to. A true peacebuilder and leader.

I first met Kai in 2004 and was struck by his many qualities – his knowledge of and dedication to the field of conflict management and peacebuilding; his strong desire for it to be professionalised (which it increasingly has been in the intervening period); his articulacy and passion; his thoroughness as a teacher and practitioner, especially with the basics; and his unwillingness to be constrained by false binary choices, preferring instead always to look for creative solutions. I personally learnt a lot from him and owe him a great debt of gratitude - so thank you, Kai!
