About change…
“Butterfly people conquer the sky
because they embrace and generate change.
They know and are true to their essence.
They see opportunities
where others only see risks.
If the wind knocks them down,
they learn and pick themselves up.
They inspire and lend their wings to others.”
Elda Moreno, Butterfly people
In a nutshell
I am a Human Rights lawyer with an expertise in children’s rights, gender equality, environmental law and sport policies. I have over 25 years of experience in international organisations leading teams and developing legal standards, public policies, programmes and campaigns in the Council of Europe and the United Nations.
From 2022 to 2024, I took a sabbatical for family reasons and worked as a consultant for causes dear to my heart. I also focused on writing and publishing fiction. Since January 2025, I am back at the Council of Europe as Senior Advisor on the Integration of the Youth Perspective in the Organisation’s policies and processes.
I am a member of Ignite Philanthropy Advisory Board and of YourSide Independent Panel
