My Job
I am the co-Founder of Advocacy Strategy – a boutique consultancy focused on Public Affairs Management Consulting. Here I work with all types of clients to help them build, refine and improve their public affairs processes and structures. It seems there are no end of internal challenges to hold back public affairs success.
My Experience
I have over 20 years of experience working with/for Corporates, Trade Associations, NGOs and Governments supporting them build and execute best in class advocacy.
My Specialisms
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievements are when I leave a role or a client and the structures and processes we put into place are still there several years later.
My Education
- Loughborough University, United Kingdom, PhD in International Economic and Political Relations (Distinction), 2008

My Languages
English – native, French – fluent, Portuguese – intermediate, German / Spanish – basic
My Interests outside work
I am an avid reader, sports fan, and traveller – all of which I try to either fit in or combine with my duties as a Dad. I have visited over 45 countries and I am trying to add new ones every year!
My Favourite Brussels anecdote
This is perhaps not so much a direct anecdote as an ongoing lesson to always expect the unexpected when you work in Brussels Public Affairs. I honestly never know what will come next (good and bad) which is perhaps one of the things that has made this career so enjoyable over the years.
