About four years of consulting in Berlin, most recently as Senior Associate at Kekst CNC. My focus is strategic communications, public affairs and policy analysis, for clients in energy, financial services, insurance, aviation and technology.
I studied governance and public policy in Passau and international relations in Bristol, then spent about four years in Berlin consultancies. I’m a U.S. permanent resident and am relocating from Berlin to New York.

How I work
Sources first
Every claim goes back to a text, a vote or a filing. Where the record is thin, I say so.
Written to be used
A memo should let a board member decide in five minutes. Short, ordered, with the next step named.
Both sides of the Atlantic
I read Brussels and Berlin for U.S. companies and Washington and the states for European ones.
