As a scholar in comparative politics, my research examines state–business relations and the influence of private interests on public policy. I focus on how business associations act as intermediary institutions shaping interactions between firms and governments and affecting economic efficiency. I hold a PhD in Political Science from University College London (2021).
I am also an expert witness on country of origin with a decade of experience as an Army intelligence officer and as a senior political and security risk analyst. My work has been requested by The Economist and a US embassy, cited in reports by the government of Spain, the Counter-Terrorism Centre of Excellence (funded by Germany and the UNODC), Voice of America, VT Actual, and local press. My reports are recognised for being clear, concise and evidence based. I also produce bespoke maps that illustrate armed group activity and risk zones, making complex dynamics readily accessible.
