Biografia

For most of my career, I’ve been dealing with EU affairs in some capacity. I started out at the European Commission back in 1998, and then I moved to private sector and have worked for two large corporations before joining Sitra. I have a passion for Europe, and I hope Sitra can contribute to building a more competitive and sustainable and more resilient European Union.
