London, England, United Kingdom
I am an international relations consultant specialising in research, disinformation, geopolitics, policy analysis, and strategic communications. As an Associate Research Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, I lead research on disinformation, Russia’s and China’s geopolitical positioning, hybrid warfare, rare earth minerals, and the EU accession process - particularly in the Western Balkans. I also analyse domestic politics in the region and the influence of China and Russia. My work delivers actionable insights to inform policy and strategy. In 2025, I also started my Fellowship at the International Strategy Forum (ISF). I hold a PhD in International Relations from the London School of Economics, where I developed a model for analysing propaganda, detailing its phases, functions, and impact on conflicts. My research explores the intersection of propaganda, conflict, and violence against civilians. Beyond policy and academia, I gained experience in global financial markets at Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s leading macro hedge funds, strengthening my analytical and strategic expertise. With a diverse background across research, policy, and finance, I provide data-driven insights and strategic recommendations on global security, geopolitical risks, and hybrid threats.

In my thesis, I examined the role of propaganda in violence against civilians through an in-depth analysis of the Yugoslav Wars. I produced a model of propaganda which details its key phases, functions, discourses and techniques. This model can be applied across various conflicts and regions where propaganda is deployed. As part of my research, I obtained access to the entire archive of RTS - amounting to around 1,634 broadcasts aired between 1991 and 1995.
As the Manager, I was in charge of managing the budget, organising various talks and conferences, and organising the process of postdoc applications.
