Ferry, MSF field coordinator, has just finished one mission in the mountains of the Hauts Plateaux in Congo (DRC) to begin another in south Yemen.

His first mission was in Azerbaijan in 1995 as a logistical coordinator, after which he worked as a financial administrator in the Democratic Republic of Congo, emergency programme manager in Bosnia and as a logistical coordinator in Burundi. All for MSF.

Apart from that, Ferry has had a variety of occupations, including director of a travel agency in The Netherlands, marketing director in Burundi and logistics consultant for a safari company in Tanzania.

In between missions he lives in Arusha, Tanzania.
