Public policy professional with 15+ years’ experience in citizen participation, open governance, public administration reform, and inclusive, sustainable impact across Europe and Latin America
I am a public policy and governance professional with over 15 years of experience across the public and private sectors in Europe and Latin America. My work focuses on citizen participation, open government and public administration reform, combining project design, facilitation, stakeholder engagement and policy advocacy. I work in French, Spanish and English.
My career began in Brussels. As a trainee at the European Commission (DG DEVCO), I analysed EU policies on migration, trade and agriculture in ACP countries and supported the Policy Coherence for Development Report 2007–2009. I then worked in civil society at MOC–CIEP–CSC, coordinating the Diversity Service and advising companies on non-discrimination, and at the Tandem Plus Network, leading advocacy and events for the “Tool Kit of European Citizenship” project.
From 2012 to 2019 I worked in Ecuador, mostly inside government. At the Ministry of Tourism and the Poverty Secretariat, I promoted international cooperation on citizen participation and poverty reduction with FAO, UNICEF, ECLAC and UNDP, and organised international seminars for over 300 participants. At the Ministry of Social Development, I coordinated institutional reporting and humanitarian aid for 300 families after the 2016 earthquake. At the National Planning Secretariat, I co-authored the National Development Plan 2017–2021, including the country’s first national anti-corruption plan. At the Presidency, I advised on open government, citizen services and procedure simplification, coordinated national operations of the Open Government Partnership, and supported the national citizen-participation plan, the “Great National Dialogue”. As a freelance coordinator, I also ran training on democracy, citizenship and public administration, monitored inclusive territorial tourism projects and supported the ISO 37001 anti-corruption certification.
Back in Belgium, I facilitated a local migrant support group and supported the “GO DIGITAL” digital inclusion project at MOC–CIEP. Since 2021, as Coordinator and Chief of Unit at CPCP in Brussels, I design, facilitate and coordinate participatory projects in Belgium and at EU level, from design to public engagement. I run inclusive workshops and citizen events with diverse stakeholder groups, deliver training on participation methodologies and open governance, and develop participatory support schemes for local authorities.
What I bring is a combination of hands-on facilitation, an understanding of how public institutions work from the inside, and a commitment to social, sustainable and inclusive impact through evidence-based governance. I am keen to put this experience at the service of EU work on participation, governance and inclusion.
