I am a political scientist interested in exploring how people with different professional, academic, and national background can collaborate to address complex environmental problems like water scarcity or climate change. I am interested in visual research methods, science communication and I coordinate an action research project on the role of media in water conflicts and cooperation on the Nile river.

My background is in technology, professional services and digital media. I co-founded Zapnito due to a number of related observations from my time in these sectors: 1) the social web is creating a huge amount of noise 2) expertise that brands have built up over decades is being drowned out and hidden from those that need it 3) these brands are therefore losing their audience to often undeserving and unhelpful sources, and 4) people are finding it harder to access the expertise that they truly value. I therefore decided to create Zapnito, a white-label platform to help trusted brands reclaim their audiences via expert-driven knowledge networks.
