Thinking together about how we govern ourselves.
Climate change and artificial intelligence are not simply creating new policy problems. They are changing the conditions in which we do politics.
Climate change, artificial intelligence, economic concentration and geopolitical fragmentation are not simply creating new policy problems. They are changing the conditions in which politics itself operates.
The old answers are struggling.
What does democratic self‑government look
like now?

Why this question, now?
We are asking twentieth-century institutions to govern a twenty‑first‑century world.
Climate and AI make the mismatch visible. They expose the limits of institutions designed around assumptions of separateness, predictability and control.
The challenge isn’t simply to produce better policy. It is to reconsider how we make decisions together when the world itself is changing.
I don’t arrive with a ready-made answer. I help people see more clearly — and explore what might become possible.

Why work with me?
Political experience. Three decades moving between the worlds of politics, government, philanthropy and ideas — learning how change actually happens, and why it so often doesn’t.
Curiosity. I bring that practical experience together with a willingness to question assumptions, cross disciplines and follow an interesting idea somewhere unexpected.
Political economy. I look beneath the immediate policy debate to the structures, incentives and distributions of power that shape what is possible.
Conversation. Good thinking is relational. I connect people and ideas. The right people in the right conversation can see things none of us could see alone.
