I’m an early-career analyst and political economist working at the intersection of technology governance, EU digital regulation, and sustainability policy. Most of my work comes back to one thing I keep being drawn to: translating complex regulatory and political-economic questions into structured, usable insight, the kind of frameworks and analysis that help people and organisations actually navigate an increasingly regulated landscape.
I hold a double bachelor’s from the University of Amsterdam (in Political Science and in Media & Information), complemented by a minor in Economic Analysis of Public Policy at the Bert W. Wasserman Department of Economics and Finance, Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College (City University of New York), and a master’s in Political Economy back in Amsterdam. The mix is deliberate: it lets me look at governance through several lenses at once, public policy, AI and data governance, computational and qualitative research methods, and international regulatory systems.
A bit of the path that got me here:
- At the United Nations Global Compact in New York, I worked with the Leadership & Policy team on corporate sustainability and responsible business conduct, contributing research toward high-level outputs including the 2025 CEO Study, and supporting stakeholder engagement during UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
- At the EGMONT Royal Institute for International Relations in Brussels, I coordinated communications across departments and worked alongside diplomats, parliamentarians, and policy actors shaping the European policy environment, and helped launch its Global Affairs Unpacked podcast.
- As a junior researcher at the University of Amsterdam’s Responsible Business Conduct Lab, I built an original analytical framework and coding taxonomy to compare EU regulatory instruments (GDPR, CSRD, CSDDD, the EU Deforestation Regulation) across jurisdictions, using both qualitative and computational methods.
- Before the policy world, I worked in the private sector as an accounts analyst at TKB, managing B2B portfolios across the Belgian, French, Italian, and German markets, with earlier experience in operations.
I was born and raised in Genoa, Italy, to Moroccan parents. Growing up between cultures and languages shaped much of my interest in governance, regulation, and how institutions can be engines of mobility and trust. I work across Italian and French (native), English (C2), German (C1, Goethe-certified), Dutch and Spanish (B2), and some Arabic.
