I’ve mostly worked with non-for-profit organisations at national, European and international levels and remain very interested in the engagement, participatory, awareness and capacity building potential of associations, federations and networks.

The capacity to look at issues from different points of views, using diverse lenses, interpreting and mediating different cultures is one of the strongest assets I offer to organisations in rethinking and redesigning their strategies, structures and ways of working.
