Timo joined the CI USA board in 2019 but his connection to Congo began in 2008 when he lived in Goma in eastern Congo for 9 months. He wore a lot of hats but primarily worked with HEAL Africa and Global Strategies for HIV prevention to enable the local production of a Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) for severely malnourished children treated at the hospital. Timo currently lives in central Connecticut with his wife and 2 daughters. He has a Mechanical Engineering degree from Columbia University and an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business. For most of the past 20 years, he has worked in the commercial property insurance industry and has experience training and coaching leaders, creating operational efficiencies, developing new capabilities and services, and being mindful of how budgets, strategies, and purpose come together to fulfill an organizations mission. Timo is honored and excited to be part of the CI USA board.
