I work with Dave on Senior to Executive level searches in the ICT4D space. Here's an opportunity... No there's no link to a website, am doing some level screening and passing on recommendations.
What should you do? Glad you asked... if you are convinced, and excited about this, please share a link to your Bio and LinkedIn not later than 1st May.

To: <[email protected]> Cc: Dear Brian: Our client company is a leading agriculture-for-development center located in a delightful college town in a safe and desirable part of Asia. The person we are looking for will become the head of a new department focusing on the strategy and implementation of ICT tools. We're not seeking a programmer . . . instead, I'm looking for an ICT strategist who has seen some real impact in rural communities with his or her ICT skills. This executive will: - Develop and promote research on distilling research outcomes for delivery through ICT tools - Lead the development/updates of existing and new innovative platforms that will accelerate the impact of our client's research mission - Manage key research areas related to the use of ICT tools, exploring new initiatives in relevant areas as the strategy requires - Oversee the development and updates of user-friendly internet-based interactive delivery - Publish and actively contribute to articles in peer-reviewed journals/digests that highlight findings and showcase the Institute’s scientific leadership on distilling/packaging research outcomes into tools - Represent our client to a wide audience by presenting at international conferences/meetings, strategic discussion forums, and policy platforms - Work closely with research teams across divisions to identify technologies ready for packaging; distilling them into simple messages, and packaging them via ICT tools or other delivery means - Build and maintain partnerships related to the use of ICT technology for delivery with high level partners, collaborators and other stakeholders, including private sector companies - Contribute actively to strategic planning of the relevant research agenda, especially in areas related to packaging and delivery of research outputs to accelerate impact - Advise the senior management and high-level partners by providing strategic advice and directions - Supervise, coach and mentor a scientific team and support staff including MSc and PhD students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Scientists This opportunity is important, and your advice will be very much appreciated. Brian, I will send you full details if you are potentially interested in learning more, but if not and you have suggestions of contacts that I can make, that would be delightful and *we will long remember your courtesy* while striving to return the favor. Best regards, Dave Jensen
