Über mich
Strategic communications specialist with 10+ years of experience gained working on projects all around the globe – in corporate, start-up and tech non-profit contexts. Spent quite some time working on Open Innovation projects, and most recently on NLP/voice technologies, open data and ethical AI. And I like Disney.
