Senior Director, Head of Europe
Dates EmployedMay 2013 – May 2015
Employment Duration2 yrs 1 mo
As Head of Europe, I led the World Economic Forum's regional strategy in Europe and managed the team responsible for relationships with European governments and other key stakeholders across the region, including the European Commission and other EU bodies. The team's goal is to initiate and facilitate strategic dialogue and projects that contribute to the sustainable prosperity of Europe.
The team's content focus included projects exploring ways to create momentum around innovation and entrepreneurship in the region, as well as research on European competitiveness to complement the EU's "Europe 2020" strategy.
In addition to leading the Europe team, I was also responsible for strategic initiatives across the Forum's regionally-focused teams. On the strategic initiatives side, I worked with the Forum's regional teams on activities and projects related to regional development and strategy, helping shape the Forum's value propositions to governments and other regional stakeholders. I'm particularly delighted to have supported the ongoing TEN Youth Initiative, which focuses on how enterprises can make the most of the skills (both cognitive and non-cognitive) of young people through more effective mentoring and apprenticeship programmes.
