Remo Fambri, Humanitarian Career & Transformative Coach

Remo Fambri is a senior humanitarian professional and holds a Level 2 Diploma in Transformative Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching, accredited by the ICF, EMCC. He has spent over thirteen years working across UNHCR field emergencies and headquarters policy roles, and continues to work as an independent humanitarian consultant alongside his coaching practice.

His field experience spans most continents, with emergency deployments and postings across Sudan, South Sudan, Zambia, Burundi, Tanzania, Lebanon, Iraq, Nigeria, Cameroon, Myanmar and Panama, alongside headquarters work in Geneva. He led interagency operations and camp management during the conflict in Rakhine, Myanmar, and coordinated the emergency response to the 2023 Sudan crisis from South Sudan. He led UNHCR's partnerships with NGOs and civil society organisations globally, negotiating the UNHCR Global Partnership Agreement with international NGOs and convening the global and regional NGO consultations that brought together thousands of representatives across every region. He authored UNHCR's global standard for emergency preparedness and led the drafting of UNHCR's 2025 Guidelines on Localisation.

Remo works with a mixed range of clients. Some are young professionals seeking to enter or grow within the humanitarian and development sector, who come to him for CV review and competency based interview preparation grounded in his own experience assessing and briefing candidates for UN and NGO roles. Others are clients working through a broader life or career transition and those young professionals who want a clear action plan, who choose transformative coaching delivered across a structured package of sessions built around their specific situation and addressing recurring patterns and decisions.

His coaching approach is practical and structured, intended to work through the client's actual situation in depth, challenge patterns that no longer serve them, and define concrete, measurable steps toward change.
