As Programme Officer on Agriculture at ICTSD, I've managed several studies and organized many high impact meetings on trade, agriculture and food security. We regularly bring together thought leaders, senior government officials and partners in the private sector to discuss and act on concrete issues - particularly negotiations at the WTO. On a near weekly basis, with a help of broad network of contacts, I report on international agricultural trade issues in Geneva, Rome and elsewhere for the subscribers to our periodicals, such as Bridges. Occasionally, as the need arises, I also do research work for ICTSD.

Prior to ICTSD, I spent time in rural India at the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics, a CGIAR center; Pakistan's Mission to the WTO; and an intellectual property policy non-profit, the Free Software Foundation in the US.
