| | My career begins and ends in the international arena. Studying overseas
led to a long tenure living outside my own country, developing both a career and family life. On
returning to the United States, I expanded further in supply chain management from a U.S. base to a
network of my employer’s multinational subsidiaries and customers, learning the commercial ins and outs
of many more international markets. In 1994, I joined the Logistics Support
Division of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and applied the
commercial knowledge I had gained from my international customers and markets to the business of peacekeeping. I have served in the start-up of
two peacekeeping missions in Kosovo (UNMIK) and Haiti (MINUSTAH), acted as
an election observer in Mozambique, trained and mentored many wonderful
young men and women, and, hopefully, contributed in my small way to bringing peace to our world. |

Jennifer Boggs, USA
Chief Transport Officer, Darfur Planning Team
Length of time with DPKO: 4 years |
| I am a Chief Transport Officer (CTO) with the United Nations. Currently,
I am working at the Secretariat in New York City as part of the planning team for the new
peacekeeping mission in Darfur. My home town is Cape Coral, Florida. I attended the United States Military
Academy at West Point. I served in the US Army for eight years, where I was deployed to Korea,
Germany, Haiti, Hungary and Bosnia. After my Army career, I worked in corporate America, which
included building a nation-wide fleet for a dot.com company and logistics operations at The Home Depot.
In 2002 I left the corporate arena and joined the United Nations, and have had incredible experiences
ever since. So far I have worked at the UN Logistics Base in Brindisi, Italy, deployed to Sudan
for the start up of the mission there (UNMIS) and then went on to work in Baghdad with the United
Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). I have the unique honor of being the first woman in the
history of peacekeeping to become a Chief Transport Officer. |
