Public trust in business and institutions rarely runs very deep. Controversy flares up at short notice. Even lightly regulated industries require a robust understanding of public policy.
My experience in European public policy allows me to assist your in-house team act and react to change; to analyse the complexities of European policy, regulations and politics, recommend a course of action, anticipate and deliver results.
Public affairs should be in the middle of your organisation – to add value, mitigate problems, challenge opinions and spot opportunities.
The European Union and its 27 member states have embarked on a legislative bonanza to reboot their economies post COVID. It has earmarked €1.8 trillion to implement lower CO2 emissions, higher renewable energy and energy efficiency targets, drive changes in sustainable finance, sustainable chemistry, mobility, digital strategy and AI — impacting all sectors of the economy.
My role is to provide added value that is genuinely tailored to your needs.
