Who
Global health, geopolitics and strategy advisor with 25+ years of international experience operating at the intersection of policy, reputation and impact.
I work with multilateral institutions, philanthropic foundations, governments and NGOs to translate complex health and development priorities into influence, visibility and measurable change. My career spans leadership roles at Edelman (Head of Global Public Health), World Resources Institute, Oxford Policy Management and Médecins Sans Frontières — alongside earlier editorial leadership at CNN, MTV, Current TV and Discovery.
I have worked across more than 20 countries in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Latin America, often in fragile or politically sensitive environments.
BA (Hons), London College of Communication
MSc, Development Studies, SOAS University of London
Fluent in English, Italian and French.
What
I advise senior leaders on strategy, positioning and influence across global health, climate and humanitarian systems.
My work integrates:
• Global public health strategy (UHC, HIV, epidemic preparedness, health financing)
• Geopolitical risk navigation and stakeholder alignment
• Executive positioning and institutional reputation
• Multi-country engagement across complex political environments
• Brand architecture and identity for global platforms and initiatives
• Policy-informed campaigns that mobilise donors, governments and civil society
• High-stakes crisis and humanitarian communications
• Board-level advisory and senior counsel
Selected mandates have included advisory support to WHO, Global Fund partners, UNAIDS technical assistance across 55 countries, primary health care reform with the Nigerian Ministry of Health, and global ocean and climate diplomacy initiatives engaging Heads of State.
I build strategies that hold under pressure.
Why
Because narrative power shapes political reality.
Global health, climate and humanitarian progress do not fail for lack of evidence — they fail for lack of alignment, trust and strategic clarity. My work focuses on closing that gap.
I believe institutions can be both commercially astute and morally serious. That influence and integrity are not mutually exclusive. And that in a fragmented geopolitical era, the ability to connect science, policy, economics and human experience into one coherent story is not communications — it is leadership.
The central challenge of our time is not information scarcity.
It is coherence, courage and collective will.
That is the work.
