I am a creative problem solver with a strong academic background in international politics. My daily work involves helping companies and university students achieve their goals. Marrying academic research with a corporate career keeps me on my toes and enables me to explore links between theory and practice in the social sciences. As a holistic thinker, I seek systemic solutions to achieve the aims of my clients, advising them on planning and strategy.

In the corporate world, I help companies to better navigate dynamic business environments in times of global uncertainty. My academic work revolves around researching and explaining China’s engagement with the world and building grand theories of regional integration and international politics. As an active citizen, I believe it is important to give back to the communities that made us. Combining my interests and values, I founded the London-based Centre for Regional Integration.
