I began my career as a journalist, covering international affairs and business news for national TV, radio, and print media — learning, above all, how to make complex information land with very different audiences. That training has shaped everything I've done since.
From there I moved into research and innovation communications, building over a decade of experience at the Foundation for Research and Technology in Greece before joining the European Science Foundation in France as Communications Officer. I have since worked as an independent strategic communications consultant, leading communications for some of the most significant open science initiatives in Europe — including Plan S / cOAlition S and GRIOS — as well as EU-funded projects across science, technology, and industry sectors.
I am comfortable working with demanding agendas, international teams, and audiences that range from policymakers to the general public. I hold an MBA in Services Management and a BA in Communication & Mass Media, with specialised training in science communication and data-driven journalism.
Twenty years of experience concentrated in four domains — combining forward-thinking strategy with meticulous execution.
Branding, stakeholder engagement, media relations, crisis communications, and change management for research organisations, NGOs, and international institutions. From strategy to hands-on delivery.
Strategy, advocacy, and communications for open access, open science policy, and research assessment reform at European and global level. Deep familiarity with the funders, platforms, and stakeholder dynamics that shape this space.
End-to-end communications for Horizon Europe and other EU-funded projects — including dissemination strategy, stakeholder materials, partner coordination, and reporting. Science, technology, and industry sectors.
Translating complex research and technology into compelling narratives for diverse audiences — from policy circles to the general public. Grounded in journalism, shaped by two decades of practice.
