Urban Policy & Resilience Advisor
Climate policy, urban resilience, and implementation under constraint.
My formal training sits in public policy, but I have always been more interested in how institutions operate under pressure than in policy as abstract design. That is what pushed my work toward implementation, governance, and delivery systems rather than purely academic analysis.
Part of that orientation was shaped by work in conflict-affected settings, where the distance between formally stated goals and what can actually be sustained becomes impossible to ignore. That experience trained my instinct toward institutional realism rather than idealised policy language.
I also spent time on the implementation side of public projects, close enough to procurement, sequencing, and contractor-government coordination to see how delays and bottlenecks actually form. That changed how I read project pipelines and portfolio claims.
More recently, this has converged in city-level climate and resilience work: climate action plans, mobility, air quality, waste, heat, and urban upgrading. The question I keep returning to is simple: what is really in motion, what is still only preparatory, and what would it take to move one stage further.
