Austria
I build bridges between disciplines, stakeholders and societies to enable responsible digital transformation. I advocate human-centred and trustworthy digital innovation, particularly in the areas of AI and cybersecurity. I facilitate meaningful dialogue between researchers, practitioners and decision-makers to foster mutual understanding and trust. Drawing on more than 15 years' experience in science communication and public engagement, I work at the intersection of technology, policy, and public interest. I translate complex digital issues into narratives that resonate across domains and enable shared action. As an AI4Gov Ambassador and graduate of the European AI4Gov Master's programme, I promote inclusive, ethics-based AI governance in public services. I incorporate this perspective into my work by contributing to interdisciplinary outreach and multi-stakeholder engagement initiatives, ranging from tech diplomacy projects to international conferences on digital safety and democracy. Effective communication is about more than just messaging; it's about connecting perspectives across institutions, sectors, and cultures.

As Manager of Strategic Communication & Public Outreach at the AIT Center for Digital Safety & Security, I support the positioning of one of Europe's leading research institutions in the fields of cybersecurity, AI, and digital governance. My role focuses on translating complex scientific and technological topics into compelling narratives for public, political, and international audiences. I co-design dialogue-oriented formats, lead multi-stakeholder communication initiatives, and act as an interface between researchers, decision-makers, and the wider public. I have played a leading role in shaping and advancing flagship initiatives such as the International Digital Security Forum (IDSF) and the Vienna Cyber Security Week (VCSW). In the context of the European AI4Gov Master’s programme, I contributed to shaping communication tools and formats that promote inclusive, public sector-oriented AI governance and utilization. Within the Gaia-X ecosystem, I contribute through diplomatic and communication efforts that strengthen Austria’s role in fostering trusted, federated data infrastructure at the European level.
