Where I Add Value

I advise governments, institutions, and businesses navigating a more fragmented and competitive international order.

• Geopolitical risk and geoeconomic strategy
• Gulf strategy and international positioning
• Economic statecraft and multilateral engagement
• Fragmentation, competition, and shifting alliances
• Scenario planning and strategic foresight

As a trained and qualified lawyer, I bring legal rigour to complex international, commercial, and public-policy questions.

My current work includes AI and technology regulation, with a focus on the evolving frameworks shaping how emerging technologies are developed, governed and used.

• International law, treaties, and multilateral legal processes
• International trade, investment law, and economic regulation
• Cross-border transactions, regulatory strategy, and compliance
• Human rights, international humanitarian law, and accountability
• Legal risk in politically sensitive and cross-jurisdictional environments

I advise on investment and capital strategies where economics, regulation, and geopolitics increasingly intersect.

• Foreign direct investment and cross-border capital flows
• Investment strategy, market entry, and economic diplomacy
• Sanctions, export controls, and regulatory exposure
• Economic security and strategic-asset considerations
• Sovereign wealth, institutional capital, and long-term investment

I serve and advise boards and senior leaders confronting complex, high-consequence decisions.

Across my career, I have served on boards across finance, education, philanthropy, family business, and government. That experience informs practical counsel on governance, oversight, risk, and institutional effectiveness.

• Board governance, oversight, and accountability
• Audit, risk, and regulatory compliance
• Institutional reform and public-policy effectiveness
• Stakeholder engagement and reputation
• Decision-making in highly regulated or politically sensitive environments

Committee experience includes: Audit and Risk · Executive · Investment · Human Resources and Remuneration · Governance and Nominations

I convene and advise across governments, international institutions, faith communities, and civil society in support of dialogue, prevention, and durable stability.

• Multilateral and preventive diplomacy
• Dialogue among states, faiths, and institutions
• Interfaith and intercultural understanding
• Humanitarian diplomacy and international cooperation
• Convening governments, faith leaders, and international organisations
