Consulting

I work with individuals and organisations who need advice on complex and high-stake issues, ranging from career decisions and branding, to strategic questions where deep expertise and institutional knowledge really makes a difference.

My consulting practice draws on a decade of experience across academic research and consulting on international security and geopolitics, European policy networks, strategic communications. Every engagement is tailored and held to the highest standards.

Policy & Strategy Advisory

My consulting on democratic governance, EU policy, platform regulation, and civic technology sits outside of this consulting practice. For these mandates, I work through the Global Society Foundation.

GSF advises intergovernmental organisations, governments, civil society networks, and businesses on democratic resilience, participatory and deliberative democracy, and inclusive governance. If your organisation is navigating questions in this space, that is where we should talk.

How it works

Every engagement begins with a scoping call. From there, we agree on format: a single intensive session, a defined project, or ongoing support.

I work with a small number of clients at a time. If you’re serious about what you’re working on, so am I.
