Robin and I first met in Cambodia thirty years ago. A few years later, when she asked me to join her team at the CBA, I was thrilled. The next almost ten years became the most fulfilling and rewarding years of my career. During those years and beyond, Robin’s wisdom and dedication, her empathy, generosity and her way of caring for others, never ceased to amaze me.
For those of us who had the privilege and honor to work with her at the CBA’s IDC, Robin was not only a leader, but also a role model, someone who makes you want to become a better person.
She was unique, always positive, diplomatic and trying to reach a consensus, even in the most desperate situations where her charm and sense of humor never failed her.
Robin, I have so many wonderful memories of our working trips to China and Vietnam, our passionate discussions and laughter! You were so much fun to be with, even when we did not agree on everything. You were a spectacular woman!
I love you my dear friend! You will always be in my heart!
Antek, Simon, Jasmine and family, please accept my deepest condolences!
