About the process

Jacob Onufrychuk, Board Chair FOU said about the process lead by Karem Armstrong:

“Leadership transitions are always critical inflection points and Daryl Upsall has now successfully steered us through that process two times. They laid out a very clear process and supported our board every step of the way.”

Anu also added:

“Karem Armstrong’s support during the recruitment process was outstanding and it was a pleasure working with her. Karem is knowledgeable, experienced, caring and very good at what she does. She provided me with solid information, responded to all my questions immediately and overall made me feel at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Daryl Upsall International to anyone who is recruiting or looking for a new opportunity.”

Congratulations to Anu and the full team of Friends of UNFPA, we wish them all the best in reaching their outstanding 2030 goals!
