Berlin, Berlin, Germany
In a 10-year career as a German diplomat, I have helped build strategic partnerships with countries from the Global South, develop regulation for emerging tech, create projects countering terrorism and boosting democratic resilience. Most recently, I advised Chancellor Scholz on African and global affairs, including on pivotal issues such as AI regulation. Serving as Germany’s Deputy Ambassador to Ivory Coast and currently as a NATO Policy Officer have honed my leadership skills and ability to navigate complex political landscapes while delivering impact on security policy, multilateral affairs and tech governance.
