Lene builds organisations that last. As Breadline Africa’s Chief Operating Officer, she spent three years building the people and processes that put serious impact investment within reach. Now she drives the organisation’s next growth phase as Innovations Principal, unlocking new financing models, incubating social enterprises and creating revenue streams that carry Breadline beyond donor dependency. She brings more than 20 years of leadership across public health, strategic advocacy, stakeholder engagement and gender equity in Africa and Asia, holds a Cand.polit. in Human Geography and serves on boards in the creative economy and public health. She mentors youth through Global Thinkers Forum. Lene believes every problem holds a solution waiting to be found, and she goes looking for hers after a morning CrossFit session.
