Welcome to The Career Guide Podcast!
The Career Guide Podcast is a behind-the-scenes conversation with professionals who have managed to develop long-term careers overseas with organizations like the United Nations, EU, NATO, and OSCE. The goal of this interview series is not to provide technical details and advice already covered in this course but to hear from career professionals about the experiences, challenges, and life as an international professional.
Today we’re talking with Olivier Girard. Olivier is the Chief of Party of the USAID Littorals Regional Initiative, a five-year, $70-million program supporting local counterparts across five West African coastal states to withstand the increasing pressures of violent extremist organizations. Olivier has spent the past decade living and working in West Africa. Before joining Creative in 2018, he was Chief of Party on post-conflict and CVE programs in Mali and Chad, as well as worked on the Millennium Challenge Corp.-funded Alatona Irrigation project in Mali. Fluent in English and French, Olivier holds a B.A. in International Development Studies from McGill University and M.Sc. in Economics from HEC Montreal Business School.
