The opportunities for innovation have never been greater. The successful innovators of tomorrow are those able to think outside the box and leverage emotional connections with people. With MatchLab I offer services to stimulate cultural change and social-centric innovation effectively. In the past I have been creatively piloting new European innovation policies fostering entrepreneurship across sectors for the European Commission. Among these I have been in charge of the development of the funding tool Horizon Prizes in the Research and Innovation Framework Programme Horizon 2020 and I prepared the integration of grand prize challenges as part of the European Innovation Council. I appertain to the consultants collective Dreamocracy, a think-and-do tank seeking to democratize innovation and tap into the collective intelligence for the common good.

Listed skills include European Union, Policy Analysis, Public Policy, International Relations, and 2 others.
