Malo Diggs-Williams
International Compliance Executive for QAHE
London,United Kingdom
Summary
One of the highlights of my career to date was in July 2010 when I was selected by the U.S Embassy to be part of the International Visitors Leadership Program travelling to a number of States over 3 weeks with other delegates from Europe to take part in a program to combat trafficking in human beings which, after having met with many law enforcement agencies, NGOs, law firms, State and Federal officials along with the European delegates, gave me good grounding and added expertise when encountering potential victims of trafficking. In 2019 - Received a commendation from Sir Philip Rutnam for my collaboration with the U.S Embassy Relating to an individual who had been recognised with two identities.
