Digital transformation is changing public health. I help organizations understand what that means for them, then build the systems to respond.
Twenty years at WHO, ECDC, and with governments worldwide shaped a core focus: bridging global evidence and local practice - in digital public health, health information, and policymaking. I translate frameworks and research into tools, processes, and capacity that fit your specific context, whether you're working at a national health ministry, an international agency, or a regional health department. The goal is systems and skills that keep working long after we finish.
Currently:
- Vice President of Global Health at the European Public Health Association,
- co-chair of Working Group on Global Health Equity and Digital Transformation at World Federation of Public Health Associations,
- Associate Editor of JMIR Infodemiology,
- advisor to Health Promotion International, and
- completing a Doctor of Public Health at Harvard, where my research centers on systems change and how health systems can better capture community and workforce insights.
