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 make a difference.

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

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.
