I am a government affairs professional working in a strictly regulated environment. I had the privilege of learning the ropes in Washington D.C., Brussels and Budapest as a diplomat and as a government official for more than 10 years. I have extensive international network and stand out by knowing what it takes to regulate and shape industries by regulation from the inside out. I got used to being frequently quoted in the media.People say I am driven by results and strategic vision, communicate and negotiate well and have a talent to motivate and lead colleagues. To tell you the truth, I do enjoy leading people and when I negotiate I prefer win-win outcomes to win-lose. And I believe in responsible regulation. “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change.”— Charles Darwin, British naturalist (or not: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/05/04/adapt/ - but true anyway :)Specialties: government relations, legislative affairs, public policy, international relations, EU law and EU policies, tobacco regulation, communication, CSR, business management, US and EU agricultural policy and law, trade in agricultural and food products, subsidies, rural development, management of EU funds.
