Hi all. Time for an #introduction. I'm an ex-journalist (although, there will always be ink in my veins), now working as Director for East and Southern Africa at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime. More here: https://globalinitiative.net/observatory/esa_obs/. Previously I was at TRAFFIC, the international wildlife trade monitoring network and Africa Check, the continent's first political fact-checking website. I'm the author of the book "Killing for Profit". #OrganisedCrime #IllegalWildlifeTrade
