Clear answers for complex policy questions

Data, AI and public policy move quickly. I help organisations understand the policy landscape, identify what matters to their work and communicate a clear position.

My experience spans policy leadership at the Open Data Institute and Wise, work with governments on data policy, and briefings for ministers and shadow ministers on data and AI.

Data & AI

Good decisions about AI start with questions about data: where it comes from, how it is used, who benefits and who might be left behind.

I work with organisations to make sense of data and AI policy, regulation and governance, and connect those questions to their priorities.

Depending on the brief, support can include:

  • Explaining policy developments and their implications for your organisation.

  • Developing a clear policy position on data and AI.

  • Preparing consultation responses, briefings and recommendations.

  • Helping teams think through trust, accountability and digital inclusion.

Government & public affairs

A clear case for change starts with evidence and an understanding of the people who need to hear it.

I help organisations connect their priorities with the policy debate and explain what they are asking for, why it matters and what a practical next step could look like.

Depending on the brief, support can include:

  • Policy strategy and stakeholder mapping.

  • Formulating and delivering government affairs strategies to help influence legislation and policy development.

  • Evidence-led messaging and briefing materials.

  • Preparation for meetings, roundtables and policy discussions.

  • Support with consultation responses and a clear case for change.

Start with your question

Tell me what you are trying to achieve, where you need support and any deadlines. We can discuss whether I am the right fit and agree the scope before work begins.
