Catherine Wanjiru

I am a highly skilled and adaptable development professional with over a decade of experience providing executive-level virtual support, coordinating complex development projects, and offering gender-responsive consulting services. I work with purpose-driven organizations and social impact teams that seek operational efficiency, inclusive growth, and meaningful change—particularly in underserved communities.

My background blends technical knowledge with hands-on experience across international development, gender equity, education, and workforce integration. I specialize in supporting executives and teams remotely by managing calendars, handling email correspondence, coordinating travel, drafting official documents, and ensuring smooth administrative operations. I approach this work with professionalism, discretion, and a strong commitment to service.

As a project coordinator, I have led multi-stakeholder initiatives involving NGOs, government agencies, and donor institutions such as the ILO and World Bank. I manage timelines, facilitate reporting, track deliverables, and help translate strategy into action. I am fluent with project management tools like Trello, ClickUp, and Google Workspace, and comfortable navigating multicultural, fast-paced environments.

In the research and consulting space, I conduct both qualitative and quantitative studies and develop data-driven reports that inform policy, advocacy, and programming. I also contribute to the design of gender-sensitive proposals, training materials, and policy briefs. My consulting work includes gender mainstreaming, recognition of prior learning (RPL), curriculum design, and capacity-building for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions.

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in visibility, dignity, and opportunity for all—especially women and youth in informal or care-based economies. I take pride in creating tools, systems, and interventions that recognize existing strengths and unlock new pathways to employment, education, and personal agency.

I bring strong communication skills, cultural sensitivity, and a systems-thinking mindset to every assignment. Whether you need reliable virtual support, project coordination, or strategic input on inclusive development, I am committed to helping your organization deliver with clarity, compassion, and impact.

If you're looking for a trusted remote professional who can work across functions and adapt to your needs while staying mission-aligned, I’d love to support your work.
