About me
Wilhelmi Valentine Tesha | Legal, Operations, Programme & Governance Professional
I am a results-oriented legal and operations professional with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) and diverse experience spanning legal practice, NGO and community development, programme coordination, operations management, government assignments, data collection, administration, compliance, and stakeholder engagement.
My professional experience has enabled me to work across different sectors and environments, including law firms, non-governmental organisations, private-sector organisations, government-related assignments, and hospitality operations. This multidisciplinary exposure has developed my ability to understand organisational challenges from both a legal, operational and programme perspective.
I have experience supporting programme implementation, community engagement, project development, resource mobilisation, donor engagement, monitoring and reporting, data collection, documentation, compliance, and organisational administration. Through my involvement with civil society initiatives, I have contributed to community-focused programmes, including initiatives promoting women’s participation in decision-making and family welfare.
I currently bring strong operational and management capabilities, including planning and coordinating activities, supervising teams, managing day-to-day operations, stakeholder communication, procurement coordination, reporting, problem-solving, and ensuring compliance with organisational procedures.
My legal background has strengthened my capabilities in legal research, contract review and drafting, regulatory compliance, risk awareness, confidentiality, documentation, negotiation, and analytical decision-making. I am particularly interested in applying these skills within organisations where governance, accountability, compliance and effective service delivery are critical.
I also have practical experience in data collection and field operations, including working with communities and maintaining accurate and confidential information. I am familiar with Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL), KoboToolbox/data collection processes, reporting, and programme documentation.
