Federico Werner

Over the course of my career, I have built solid experience in project coordination, stakeholder engagement, technical reporting, and implementation support across international and multicultural contexts. In my recent role as Project Officer at the World Resources Forum, I supported and led grant-funded circular economy and development cooperation programmes with SECO, GIZ, UNIDO and other partners, contributing to project monitoring, learning, and cross‑country collaboration within international environment portfolios. This has strengthened my interest in deepening my career in the development cooperation and philanthropy sectors, particularly in roles where structured project follow-up, learning processes, and collaboration across countries are central responsibilities.
