He worked with NATO allies and international NGOs to help end the civil war, establish the country’s new borders, repatriate displaced citizens, facilitate free & fair elections, and usher in democratically elected leaders all within 18 months – forging an appreciation for what it takes to make change happen in the real world under the most demanding circumstances.
