Biography

At the heart of my team’s work—and my own—are scaling democracy technologies that enhance citizens’ participation and democratic decision-making and fostering a healthy social media environment in Europe. In my day-to-day work, I collaborate with public authorities, decision-makers, civil society, think tanks, researchers and technology communities.

I hold a Master’s degree in social sciences in the field of Social and Public Policy, and a Bachelor of Business Administration, specializing in international business. An interest in analyzing power and governance—both in everyday contexts and, more broadly, at the level of groups and datafied societies—has been a guiding thread throughout my studies and working life.
