About Me
I specialise in international Internet governance and cybersecurity policy, with deep expertise in mobile device security, technical standards development, and multistakeholder governance. I bring a practical, global perspective to complex digital challenges—rooted in a career that began in Silicon Valley and has spanned both the private and public sectors.In the early 2000s, I worked at the forefront of content strategy and digital media, including on Yahoo! search, eBay, and launching iTunes Canada and audiobooks. Since 2010, I’ve focused on public policy, working with organisations like the GSMA and advising clients on international negotiations, standards bodies, and security frameworks. My work often centres on bridging private-sector innovation with multilateral processes to develop effective, forward-looking policy solutions.Currently, I lead a portfolio of projects through my company, Last Press Label, and collaborate with the University of Pittsburgh. I hold a PhD in Architectural History and bring a multi-disciplinary approach to digital governance, informed by my academic and policy background.Outside of policy work, I’m a passionate Nordic skier, an amateur biathlete and orienteer, and a certified ski instructor. I also serve as Chair of the British Nordic Development Squad.Let’s work together.
If you’re looking for strategic guidance, research, or representation on digital policy, cybersecurity, governance, or international negotiations, I’d be glad to discuss how I can help.
