Ask me about:

Hiking and being outside, Geneva Global Ethiopia’s Operations, and working cross-culturally.

With each working day Abel can be found ensuring the seamless operation of Geneva Global Ethiopia’s activities. He can often be found delivering materials across Addis Ababa, recommending activities for visiting guests, coordinating travel to field sites, and navigating the busy city streets. Having been a driver for many years, Abel knows the best hotels, restaurants, and activities to recommend to visitors. He supports the Geneva Global Ethiopia team with making reservations, securing meeting materials, and taking the team and visitors to each site visit. Abel also ensures the safety and performance of Geneva Global Ethiopia’s vehicles, so they are always clean and fit to be driven.  

Abel loves working for Geneva Global Ethiopia because it blends his expertise in operations and driving with a powerful mission of serving out-of-school children across Ethiopia. Driving to each field visit and supporting the Geneva Global Ethiopia team fills Abel with pride knowing he is making a difference within the country.  

What’s an interesting fact that others would not know about you? 

As a seasoned professional driver, I can always predict which lane will move the fastest in heavy traffic. My superpower is sensing the subtle shift in traffic patterns and choosing the fastest lane.  

What book, film, or quote has shaped the way you think? 

I am deeply influenced by the timeless wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson. I love his quote “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”. This quote always reminds me to embrace curiosity, seek adventure, and forge my own path.  

What brings you joy? 

The open road is my greatest source of joy. There is no better feeling than driving without a care in the world and taking in the endless scenery around me. I always use this time to clear my mind and find connection with something greater than myself.  

Why did you decide to work at Geneva Global?  

I decided to work at Geneva Global Ethiopia because the opportunity has allowed me to grow and learn from a diverse, inclusive community. Geneva Global Ethiopia gives me the support and security that motivates the work I do each day.
