Summary

Strategic consultant with over 10 years of experience in supporting public institutions, cultural organizations, and NGOs through digitalization, stakeholder management, and strategic change. I bridge the gap between technical possibility and organizational reality.

I translate AI Governance frameworks (EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001) into actionable strategies that align with institutional values, not just regulatory requirements. My interdisciplinary background combines Humanities academic background, Data Science expertise (Le Wagon), and strategic problem-solving (McKinsey Forward Program), which enables me to address both the technical and human dimensions of responsible technology adoption.
