Candidate statement
UNFCU is “the” financial institute for UN personnel, providing most, if not all, of the financial services required by us with stability and consistency, as we move around globally “serving the world”. I am motivated to leverage my background and extensive experience in substantively contributing to the governance of the UNFCU. I am committed to ensure a continued safe and secure financial environment provided by UNFCU for its members, and to continue to improve their client experience, giving members satisfaction and peace of mind as far as their financial needs are concerned. UNFCU should continue to grow and strengthen its status as the financial institute of choice of UN personnel.
