Get In Touch
I am the founder of AI Job Mixer and Director of Strategy & Marketing at SmartAvatar. Most of my work starts with one question: how can technology genuinely help people, while still protecting the things that make us human? I work across AI, product strategy, smart cities, digital twins, and emerging technology, building resilient products and models that can move from ambitious ideas into something useful, understandable, and real. My background in political science, media, and political communication shapes how I think about power, trust, behaviour, ethics, and public value. For me, innovation is not only about what we can automate or optimise. It is about what we choose to preserve, strengthen, and make more human. I naturally move between technology, policy, society, strategy, and creativity, and I like connecting unlikely dots to build things that can actually last. I also paint, and that creative side matters just as much. Art keeps me close to intuition, emotion, ambiguity, and the humanities. As technology becomes more powerful, I think those qualities become more important, not less. The future I want to help build is not less human because of AI. It is more human because we designed it that way.

The Political Communication track addresses questions at the core of our democratic societies. How do citizens learn about politics in the era of disinformation and algorithm-driven social media? How can journalism survive and thrive? And how can political actors best reach the public?
