Andrea Kienle currently leads the Talent Development and Performance Management team at UNIDO, where she drives organization-wide learning strategies and empowers a diverse global workforce to grow and thrive. She recently celebrated her 25-year anniversary in the UN system; her career began in New York as a JPO with the UN Secretariat in the Department of Human Resources Management. She then moved to the Department of Peacekeeping Operations as part of its first dedicated training team, where she learned to build bridges across military, police, and civilian actors and developed a reputation for finding pragmatic, field-oriented solutions in complex environments. Andrea has since led learning teams across UNOV/UNODC, the OSCE, and now UNIDO, shaping talent development, strengthening organizational capabilities, and supporting cultures of continuous learning.
