Drawing on over two decades of international experience in cultural policy, strategic management, arts management and institutional development, I offer consultancy services to governments, universities, foundations, NGOs, and international organizations. My consultancy work is grounded in academic, practice-based knowledge and research expertise, allowing me to support institutions in shaping impactful strategies, inclusive policies, and innovative frameworks for sustainable development in the arts and culture sector and adopting the AI in meaningfull usage.
Whether advising on national cultural strategies, facilitating participatory policy processes, or evaluating complex international programmes, I work closely with stakeholders to co-design transformative solutions tailored to their unique needs and contexts.
I welcome opportunities for collaboration with institutions, organizations, and individuals working in the arts, culture, education, policy, and business sectors—across public, private, and independent (NGO) levels. My areas of expertise include:
- Strategic and arts management
- Entrepreneurship and business development in the cultural and creative industries
- Cultural and creative industries ecosystem building
- Cultural diversity and intercultural competencies
- The societal value and impact of the arts
- Research design and policy evaluation
- Programme and project evaluation
- Curriculum development for higher education and professional training
- Writing and advising on complex project proposals
If you are seeking an experienced partner, advisor, or consultant for your project or initiative, whether in research, policy, entrepreneurship, or cultural practice, I would be happy to connect and explore ways we can collaborate.
