## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead strategic climate and sustainability communications, translating policy-heavy issues into credible narratives across international teams, partners, and audiences.
```

## About

```text
I co-founded and lead BLURBS, a Brussels strategic communications studio supporting climate and sustainability clients including amfori, Zero Emissions Platform, and Resortecs. I translate technical and policy-heavy positions into clear narratives, while setting strategy across 40+ institutional and NGO clients.

Previously, I directed communications for Generation.org across 14 countries and shaped donor messaging behind €20M+ in grants and partnerships. At Politico Europe, I helped steer audience and editorial strategy during peak Brexit coverage, growing monthly audience from 10M to 15M.
