My Job

With a focus on integrated EU public affairs, I combine advocacy, strategic communications, issues management, and thought leadership to offer comprehensive solutions to address client’s needs, with a particular focus on the most nuanced or politically charged topics: I co-lead our European Defence & Security cluster, and advise clients facing intense scrutiny and navigating substantial transformations in the sustainability, transport, trade, and bio-technology fields.

My Specialisms
My Proudest Achievements
It’s not the most high-profile wins that make me feel the proudest, it’s seeing a team firing on all cylinders to solve the challenges that felt the most intractable that stand out. I’ll take an understated, underdog win over a flashy slam-dunk any day of the week.
