About me

I am an Associate Director and alumnus of the Global Leadership Fellows Programme at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, Switzerland. As Deputy Head of the programme team I am in charge of our New York division, co-directing the design and development of our programmes in Davos and China, and leading the public programme at the World Economic Forum on Africa.

Before joining the Forum, I did research and managed research projects at the International Labour Organization; this included studies on the impact of trade and investment on human capital development, as well as an assessment of the economic costs of social exclusion. Prior to that, I provided background research on public-private financing at UNDP.

My professional focus lies on the social and economic implications of globalization and technological change, as well as cross-sector responses to global challenges. My doctoral thesis at the Witten/Herdecke University examines the management of multi-stakeholder partnerships and so did my thesis at the LSE. As part of my academic work, I taught courses at the Witten/Herdecke University and the University of Geneva.

Passionate about science and technology, I developed programming and web design skills as a young student which led to the successful foundation of an online financial services platform in 2000, as well as extensive consulting work in my university years. Today, I am particularly interested in design thinking, social innovation, and content curation.
