Ethel Davis (diplomat) explained

Ethel Davis is a Liberian diplomat who served as Liberia’s Ambassador to Germany. She also serves as ambassador to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Austria and Finland.[1] She presented her credentials to Christian Wulff at Bellevue Palace (Germany) on December 13, 2010.[2]

Education

Davis earned a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the George Washington University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Liberia.

Career

In 2009, three people working under Davis at the Central Bank of Liberia were accused of illegally transferring funds.[3] During the investigation, Davis resigned from her position as Deputy Bank Governor.[4] While she was found not culpable, she resigned to allow the investigation to proceed.[5]

Her work in Liberia has included working on the Ebola virus epidemic in Liberia,[6] [7] [8] a crisis she likened to war[9] which required global action.[10] Davis worked with multiple companies and towns in Germany encouraging aid for Liberia during the epidemic.[11] [12] During this period, she note that Ebola came to Liberia from Guinea, and thus the epidemic is only one plane ride away from Germany.[13] In 2014 deaths from Ebola challenged Liberia's economy and social cohesion, as Davis noted during a global health summit in Berlin.[14] [15]
