Sebastian Ung
Head of Football Programme
Sebastien is Head of Football Programme at ISF Cambodia. With more than 25 years of international experience across multiple sectors. His focus is straightforward: build programmes that last and create real opportunities for young people.
At ISF, he works closely with coaches, strengthens structures, and develops safe and inclusive environments where youth can grow through sport. He believes the values learned on a football pitch, how to lead, how to fail, how to keep going, carry far beyond it.
His connection to Cambodia is personal. His father is Cambodian, and that shapes how he approaches this work. Not as an outsider, but as someone with a genuine stake in the country’s future.
Rithya Kimsour
Head of IT and M&E
Rithya is Head of IT and Monitoring and Evaluation at ISF Cambodia. With over 10 years of experience in IT and a background in Computer Science, he keeps the organisation’s systems running and its data meaningful.
His work sits at a practical intersection: the technology that supports daily operations and the information that tells ISF whether its programmes are working. He leads system development, strengthens network security, and builds the data and evaluation frameworks that help the team make better decisions for the young people they serve.
Good data, in the right hands, changes outcomes. That is what Rithya is here for.
