What I work on

Four areas, one argument.

Europe's prosperity is a policy choice. Each of these areas decides whether we make the right one.

Central and Eastern Europe

Elections, economic reforms, the rule of law, and the region's changing impact on the EU.

EU regulatory simplification

The tangible benefits of the Single Market, and the necessary regulatory simplification and reduction to unleash its full potential.

EU constitutional reform

Treaty change, subsidiarity, enlargement, and the machinery that decides whether reform is possible.

The EU's role in the world

Trade, security, and how the Union carries economic weight beyond its borders.

About

EU arguments, made accessible.

I lead EPICENTER's strategy, research direction, and outreach in Brussels. My job is to turn rigorous research into arguments that land in real policy debates: in the European institutions, in the press, and on stage.

Event organisers book me for plain-language analysis with a point. Journalists call me for fast, precise comment on deadline.
