“I served 2 terms on the Board of CIVICUS and I was the Treasurer and the Chair of the Operations and Finance Committee. Bettie was first the CFO and then the COO of CIVICUS, and was reporting to me in the Committee. I had the privilege to observe and learn from her during that time. She has been a total game-changer for CIVICUS, she carried the organisation into a totally new league in both organisation, systems, management and finance. She managed to do this as a perfect strategist, applying the right tactics and processes with global knowledge. She was able to deliver this through excellent execution because she has excellent insight into people. She would lead any team to success as she has all-round business skills and has a deep-thinking analytical approach. After this fantastic experience in CIVICUS, I have chosen to work together with her once again. We joined forces. She is now the Internationalization Director of Good4Trust.org - carrying the organisation from national to global. Side by side with Bettie, I feel invincible.”
