Igor Markov

Following an international career in oil & gas drilling services, Igor currently serves as Lifeline’s Senior WASH Adviser in Uganda. Educated at Universidad Simón Bolívar (Venezuela), Igor brings a wealth of knowledge in the area of mechanical engineering. Further, Igor has extensive career experience in hands-on field work, human resources, technical management, sales, line management and business consulting.

Igor initially partnered with Lifeline in 2009, when he volunteered to start the ICSEA Carbon Finance program as a means to self-fund Lifeline’s cookstoves. He has also contributed his health, safety and environmental skills by providing in-house training for the Lifeline field teams.

In 2014, Igor reconnected with Lifeline as a technical adviser in order to transfer some of the best practices from the oil industry to Lifeline’s WASH processes. In doing so, his goal has been to see Lifeline become the gold standard for delivering access to safe water to Northern Uganda.
