British but based in the United States. Soon to be a US citizen, and, dual national. Formerly a journalist with Reuters and the Times of London (Moscow Bureau Chief), I moved into the think tank world in 2003 and I have straddled journalism, analysis, advisory work, think tanking and thought leadership ever since. I have held senior fellowships with several major DC-based think tanks: the Wilson Center; CSIS; the German Marshall Fund of the United States; and between 2007 and 2009 I ran the Europe Programme at Chatham House in London.Among other contributions, I chaired NATO’s key North America discussion group for outreach to leaders of think tanks, NGOs, academia, and other experts for NATO’s 2022 Strategic Concept, adopted at the Madrid Summit.I’m always open to suggestions as to how to develop my career and skills, including, perhaps especially, in unexpected directions.My main areas are Russia/Ukraine/Central eastern Europe -- I speak Russian, Slovak, Czech, Ukrainian, as well as French -- the European Union; transatlantic relations; China; global democracy; democracy in the digital revolution; cyber security; macro economics; geo-politics; and the whole panoply of issues related to international security. I have written three books and contributed to/edited several others.See on my Linkedin front page a small selection of live interviews I have conducted with: former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko; Senator Tim Kaine; Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of NATO, and others. They are think tank style interviews at major international conferences rather than the snappier style one would adopt on TV, but you’ll get the general idea.I am currently researching a new book which explores the possibilities of harnessing the digital revolution, while mitigating its dangers, to renew and better protect our democracies. Publishers and agents are welcome to inquire further, as is anyone who is interested in the subject.My work is quintessentially bi-partisan/non-partisan in nature.I have had a Green Card since June 2018, and plan to stay and work in the United States for the long term.
