Caroline Onyango-Dyregaard
Associate Director, Head of Governance, Risk, Ethics & Compliance | WHO Foundation
This month, ProWoc spotlights Caroline Onyango-Dyregaard — With a career spanning the pharmaceutical, shipping/logistics, and manufacturing sectors. Caroline, trained as a lawyer in the U.S., began her career in Washington, D.C. as a litigating attorney before moving into corporate legal and compliance roles.
Best advice, “Do not self-select out. Apply for the role, speak up in the room, ask the question and take the opportunity. You do not need to be perfect or have every answer before you are allowed to try.”
