I'm an inspiring leader, a passionate communicator, a versatile storyteller and a creative problem solver. I thrive on combining research-driven planning with a sharp focus on emotional intelligence in leadership and delivery.This formula has served my clients well during many challenging years of international consulting practice. It's led me to work with world-class companies in strikingly diverse sectors; to pick a few examples - Ford, MasterCard, Dow Chemicals, ArcelorMittal, Serco, IKEA, Easyjet, Erste Bank... My core skills have also proven to be highly transferable. More recently, they've brought satisfying results in international public sector and NGO environments, working on projects with UNDP, GIZ, the EU and others.I'm especially proud of accolades from the great people I've worked with and been privileged to lead. Successful team leadership in multi-cultural, often post-conflict contexts is one of the most challenging and therefore the most rewarding highlights of my career so far.To date, my professional journey has taken me to over 30 countries and experience that embraces advocacy & lobbying, stakeholder engagement, PR, corporate reputation & crisis management, sustainability, diversity, ecology, ESG and now, International Development. My current activities include stakeholder engagement, team management and strategic communications for a regional international development cyber-security project in the Western Balkans; consultancy for a leading association in the medical communications field and a directorship of a not-for-profit start-up developing apps to support positive mental health among children and young people.
