In recent years, The HALO Trust has grown significantly, and to support the full breadth of geographic reach of HALO’s important work to clear landmines and serve people affective by conflict, a new Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships (Middle East) has been invited to join the team.

We are very pleased to announce that Florence Branchu has taken on the position and joins HALO to develop and implement a new funding strategy in the Middle East, an exciting new market.

In collaboration, our CEO, Zoe Oldham and International Recruitment Consultant, McAra Kirby-Fahey, led the search for Florence, taking the search global to secure the perfect candidate.

HALO’s own Director of Global Philanthropy, Sarah Jane Whiting commented: “A huge thanks to Zoe and McAra for helping us find Florence to join HALO as our Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships, Middle East. We feel very fortunate to have found Florence who has the track record and mindset we were seeking and we look forward very much to welcoming her to the HALO team and joining in our mission to protect lives and restore livelihoods of those affected by conflict.”

All of us are very much looking forward to seeing how Florence gets on at The HALO Trust and helps the organisation continue their vital mission.
