EBRIMA NDURE
Prague-based Project Manager at VML and Marine Corps Team Leader and Section Head. A decade running creative delivery, embassy security, and public diplomacy across 10+ countries.
Calm is a
protocol, not a personality.
Versatile Project Manager and Marine Corps Team Leader and Section Head with 10+ years spanning high-stakes security operations, public diplomacy, and creative agency environments. The résumé reads in three languages — government, NGO, private sector — and the through-line is the same: lead the team, run the plan, deliver the result.
Today I manage creative production at VML Prague. Before that I monitored SCIF build-outs in Türkiye and Iraq, lectured for the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb, stood post at U.S. Embassy Tokyo, and ran convoys in Helmand. Loyal, self-sufficient, dependable. Quietly funny. Calmest person in the room when something is on fire — sometimes literally.
