He joined the UN Development Program in 1968, and worked in Ghana, Turkey, Botswana, Pakistan and India, before becoming Director of European Affairs in Geneva.

His responsibilities included direction of all UN operations in the country, managing the Oil-for-Food program, and verifying Iraqi compliance with that program.
