Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
I am a proven public affairs leader with extensive experience building and executing strategic government and stakeholder engagement programmes at the global and UK market level. For 13 years, in positions of increasing responsibility, I’ve taken a leading role in designing and delivering corporate affairs strategy within complex regulatory environments, shaping public policy agendas and strengthening organisational reputation at the intersection of business and government. My career combines: • Strategic public policy leadership — aligning organisational goals with evolving regulatory landscapes. • Global stakeholder management — building trust with policymakers, industry partners and civil society. • Third-party mobilisation and influence — navigating complex issues across multiple jurisdictions. I have a proven record of delivering high-impact public affairs outcomes, driving multi-stakeholder coalitions, and advising executive leadership on strategic public policy opportunities and risks. Prior to my corporate experience, I gained practical political experience working in the UK Parliament and on UK general election campaigns — grounding my strategic perspective in deep legislative and political insight. I am excited by senior leadership opportunities in public affairs — with global or market-leadership remits, based in the UK or Geneva. I bring a blend of strategic vision, stakeholder credibility and proven delivery in intensely complex regulatory and political environments.
