About
I’ve spent my career working where politics meets policy.
I’ve worked inside political parties and governments, run a think tank, advised foundations and international organizations, and worked on campaigns and major initiatives in the US, UK and internationally.
I’ve learned a lot about how change actually happens, and why it so often doesn’t. Now I’ve become interested in a more fundamental question.

What happens when the conditions on which our political and economic systems were built begin to change?
Typical
engagements
Thought partnership
A facilitated inquiry or retreat
A small group convening
An emerging-ideas research project
A political economy analysis
A new initiative or programme design
Alongside my consulting work, I am pursuing doctoral research at Georgetown University focused on democratic self-government under conditions planetary interdependence and powerful structural forces.
My interest is not in predicting the future.
It is in creating the space to think seriously about it — together.
