My Job

I support European and international trade associations with strategic communications, positioning and stakeholder engagement. My work sits at the intersection of communications, advocacy and association management, helping organisations explain complex policy issues clearly, strengthen their reputation and communicate more effectively with members, policymakers and wider stakeholders. I work across corporate communications, executive visibility, campaigns, events and regulatory communications, with a strong focus on the Brussels environment.

My Experience

I have built my career in the European association world, with a focus on communications, public affairs-related messaging and strategic advice for trade associations. Over the years, I have worked with organisations across sectors including food and drink, chemicals, energy-related files and broader industrial policy topics. My experience includes executive communications, LinkedIn strategy, advocacy campaigns, event communications, content development and helping associations demonstrate their value in a fast-changing EU policy landscape.

My Specialisms
