Strategic Clarity for Complex Systems

The Intersection of Crisis & Innovation I have spent 25 years operating where the playbook hasn’t been written yet. From establishing Iraq’s first Joint Crisis Coordination Centre (JCC) during the ISIS conflict to advising the UN on global energy initiatives, I specialize in translating systemic chaos into actionable strategy.

Bridging Social Science + STEM + AI As a Payne Institute Fellow and MSc candidate in Sustainability, Innovation & Technology, I bridge field-proven judgment with the cutting edge of AI Strategy & Ethics. I help societies and leaders navigate the 2020s—from climate transition to geopolitical volatility—by building decision frameworks that are grounded in evidence and resilient to change.

Sustainability in Practice & Community My commitment to a sustainable future is both professional and personal. Based in Vienna, I am a full-time mother and serve as the Head of a School Parent Association, while also supporting women and girls impacted by conflict as a Trustee for The Lotus Flower. These roles ground my macro-level strategy in the practical reality of building resilient, inclusive, and future-ready communities.
