Background

About Mahbubul Alam

I am a results-driven programme management professional with over 14 years of experience in one health integration, food safety governance, and wildlife conservation. I possess proven expertise in designing, planning, and managing complex, multi-phased projects, as well as mobilizing large grants and multi-site resources. I am adept at organizational management, institutional development, governance advocacy, behavior change communication, community mobilization, and intellectual negotiation. I have managed the skills and performance of large teams working in different geographical locations and challenging situations, consistently adhering to high-quality project management standards. I have raised and managed approximately $14 million for implementing USFWS, USAID, ZSL, IUCN, KFW, and UKAID-funded projects. I managed a complex portfolio at WildTeam Bangladesh as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and oversaw a range of public health advocacy, wildlife conservation, climate change adaptation, and poverty reduction initiatives. I also had the privilege of managing the highly successful multi-million-dollar USAID-funded Bengal Tiger Conservation Activity (The Bagh Project) as Chief of Party (CoP) and Regional Manager. Additionally, I provided technical expertise at the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (FAO RAP), The World Bank, and the One Health Institute to implement One Health priorities in the region. My strength lies in motivating and developing people to step forward for positive change, working toward achieving the desired outcomes. I consider myself a highly organized, strategic, innovative, and confident individual who views challenges as opportunities to deliver effective solutions.
