Senior PartnerAline is a water management specialist by education and a natural resource manager by practice, connecting agricultural, sanitation, waste and other environmental sectors with innovation, business development and impact financing.
Hi, this is Aline, Senior Partner at seecon and manager of our Middle East branch. I am the nomad in the seecon team, being based in several countries at the same time. I like working on the ground, close to people and close to challenges that I see as opportunities. Multitasking is my way to efficiency, while I am being pragmatic and structured.
I joined seecon in 2016 by pure coincidence and thanks to my nomadic nature and network. It’s been an exciting journey since then, during which I have been building our branch in the Middle East with multiple projects and a locally rooted international team. Establishing networks, projects and businesses from scratch is my passion. I don’t need a paved road. Throw me into things and I will figure out the best way to get action going and impact done.
