About Me …

I started as a journalist — reporting for newspapers in the US before moving to Europe, where I spent years covering politics, migration and human rights across Hungary, the Balkans and Central Europe for the like of Reuters, AP and Bloomberg. I eventually moved to London as a senior writer for Bloomberg covering media, technology, features, and investigations across Europe.

Producing content in the field in South Africa

I’ve won awards from the New York Press Club, the New York News Publishers Association, the Associated Press and the Chronicle for Higher Education.

After two decades in newsrooms I moved into communications, building and running a global content operation for Oracle across more than 100 countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

I produced short documentaries, executive communications, thought leadership and stakeholder content at scale, as writer, executive producer and strategic advisor to senior leadership. The work reached government ministers, C-suite executives and international bodies including the UN General Assembly and the World Government Summit in Dubai. Partner organisations even adopted it for their own websites, onboarding and internal training.

I’ve lived in the United States, Hungary and the United Kingdom. I’ve reported and filmed across four continents. I speak English natively and Hungarian fluently.

I’ve spent years turning complex ideas into narratives that move people and markets, crafting narratives that resonate with the C-suite, government ministers, donors and general audiences alike.

What drives me has remained constant: telling the stories that impact our lives, and leave us (hopefully) a little bit wiser.
