Immediately prior to her appointment to USAID, she worked with J-PAL and IPA on several projects in West Africa. Since leaving USAID, WPA, Inc the advisory firm she founded in 1995, is advising the African Development Bank on its financial sector development strategy. She has extensive transactional experience in Africa working as an adviser to African governments and central banks as well as institutional investors. In 2003, WPA sponsored and was the General Partner for a private equity fund whose anchor investor was HSBC, First Rand. Ms. Abt is an expert in commercial banking privatization, and has written, published, and lectured on the topic.
