Hi, I'm Donnalee Donaldson:

I am a product and policy strategist for international markets. I have lead teams, and collaborated with governments, to build education products (ed tech and blended learning) that serve hundreds of thousands of youth and teachers across East Africa (Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda).

A lawyer by training, I am quite interested in ICT and public policy, and how technology can be leveraged to improve livelihoods. I have studied tech law and policy in both the US and Kenya.

I am a noted public speaker and trainer, having graced audiences from Trinidad to Switzerland to Nigeria. I most frequently speak about international development issues, and career growth.

Finally, I am a career coach to ambitious women seeking to build impactful international development careers in Africa.

My professional highlights including managing the creation and launch of Rwanda's first university in a refugee camp, co-founding Rwanda's first natural hair company, and interviewing several of Africa's most notable authors as a part of the Kigali Lit series.

I earned my degrees in the US, have lived in Rwanda and Kenya, and worked in Uganda, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, the US, and beyond.
