Economist, policy entrepreneur, and innovation expert, with 14 years of experience in Public Sector Innovation, Digital Policy, Digital Governance and Digital for Economic Development. I have collaborated with governments and international organizations, corporate companies and startups, and academia and civil society at the intersection of policy, technology, and the economy, having contributed to thirty-plus multidisciplinary projects to improve organizational efficiency and build capacity and economic development.

An early enthusiast of the Govtech, I had the opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge initiatives in Portugal and abroad, such as the recent involvement in designing and implementing the world’s first Govtech Strategy for the Justice sector (https://govtech.justica.gov.pt), collaborating with the European Commission’s “Knowledge Hub Digital” to provide capacity-building training on global efforts to govern digital technologies to diplomats and public service professionals.
