Linda Etim, former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director of Development and Global Health at the National Security Council

Algene was an integral member of the executive leadership team at DFC. Her expertise in not only development policy, human rights, and global women’s issues, but also strategic communications and legislative affairs made Algene an invaluable asset as the new agency sought to navigate diverse and often divergent stakeholder priorities. It was a pleasure working with her, and I am excited to see what she will do next.
