Carl McIntyre
Mongolia
Carl will be spending twelve months with the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI) Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) as a Private Sector Development Project Officer.
Since 1991 MNCCI has become the key vehicle for supporting private sector development in the country’s transition to a market-based economy. The chamber is actively involved in trade, investment and international policy development throughout the country and is the country’s peak business authority.
Carl will report to the head of the International Relations division on various private sector development initiatives. This will incorporate a review of investment attraction and trade development activities. He will also work to build and maintain relationships with international development organisations including The World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The final aspect of Carl’s position includes training staff on project delivery as well as assisting colleagues with their analyses of private sector development issues.
In 2004 Carl completed a Bachelor of International Business/ Bachelor of Commerce at Griffith University. This led to a position in a world-leading investment promotion agency based in Brisbane where he managed domestic and international enquiries from businesses seeking investment opportunities in the greater Brisbane area.
As a young professional with an investment and trade development background Carl views this assignment as an unique opportunity to align his career path in the field of international development and leave behind a sustainable legacy for others to continue driving.
Having grown up amongst the cane fields of Mackay in North Queensland, Carl has always longed for an opportunity to combine his desire for the outdoors and adventure in an international development setting. A land steeped in history and wild frontiers, Mongolia is going to be a life changing experience for him. Naturally, he’s also looking forward to developing a taste for peculiar meat dishes and vodka.
