I provide policy and strategic consulting in UK foreign policy, foreign policy strategy, and security and defence, with particular expertise in how these areas intersect with international organisations, higher education, research and innovation, and science diplomacy.

My work supports organisations operating in complex international environments that require both strategic thinking and institutional awareness, especially where foreign policy objectives are shaped through multilateral cooperation, knowledge production, and long-term policy frameworks.
