I have more than 20 years’ experience in various policy, coordination and communications-related roles – always keeping in sight the strategic side of things. I worked for associations, EU institutions, foundations and consultancies on public affairs, media relations, association, partner, network and project management. My focus over the past years has been on issues related to food and nutrition, cybersecurity, digital and advertising, but I am also familiar with research and education. If this isn’t a direct match, rest assured that I am a fast learner and always curious to explore new areas, clients and their challenges.
