Crown Agents is delighted to announce that Maureen Simuyandi has been appointed Non-Executive Member to its Board of Directors.

Maureen is an international development professional with over 20 years experience in health system strengthening and public financial management. She has worked in multifaceted international development organisations such as John Snow Inc.
