Jenny Wright - IOM (UN Migration)

Welcome to The Career Guide Podcast!

The Career Guide Podcast is a behind-the-scenes conversation with professionals who have managed to develop long-term careers overseas with organizations like the United Nations, EU, NATO, and OSCE. The goal of this interview series is not to provide technical details and advice already covered in this course but to hear from career professionals about the experiences, challenges, and life as an international professional. 

Today we’re talking with Jenny Wright, who has spent the last 3 years as a Program Consultant for IOM in Tunisia, Switzerland, and Timor-Leste. Jenny started out as a consultant in the emergency management field in Australia, then held similar positions in Sweden and the UK. She then transitioned to become Director of Communications and Development for the Human Rights Defense Center and held multiple other international research positions and consultancies for NGOs and the private sector. She also started her own private consultancy practice, and overall, Jenny spent 16 years working internationally.
