Summary

Strategic communicator pivoting into AI governance

I've spent two decades helping companies clarify complex, high-stakes topics, working across ESG communications and B2B marketing. I now lead early-stage AI governance within Global Comms at Novonesis and completed an AI ethics certification from London School of Economics to deepen that work. Known for building common-sense frameworks people can easily use, aligning exec teams and turning ambiguity into action. Now, looking to shape responsible AI with clarity and impact at scale.
