Tosca Bruno-van Vijfeijken has dedicated her three-decade career to international development and civil society issues. After working as an international development practitioner for 16 years (with a think tank, the World Bank, United Nations and NGOs), she turned into an ‘accidental pracademic’. Tosca managed, and eventually led the Transnational NGO Initiative (TNGO Initiative) at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, USA, where her focus was on the governance, leadership and effectiveness of international civil society organizations. Since 2019, she has returned to practice as the owner and Principal Consultant of Five Oaks Consulting – named after her difficult-to-pronounce Dutch last name :).
Tosca has done extensive work with mid-sized to large INGOs by directing leadership development training programs, including executive coaching. Her work extends to change leadership and management, including organizational level evaluations.
