People
At TUI, we have a dedicated and committed full-time staff working across various projects. Thanks to our network-based methodology, we also collaborate with professionals from diverse backgrounds who contribute their expertise to specific projects. The management team consists of the Director and the Coordinator, who lead the organization and oversee the execution of our projects, while the President manages the legal functions of the organization.
