I started at Blic as a Manager in September 2025. For the past ten years, I have worked in a variety of roles within politics. I have extensive expertise in political preparation and decision-making processes, as well as all stages of legislative drafting. In my view, politics and solving societal challenges are, above all, about collaboration. Over the years, I have built a broad network of contacts across the political spectrum, public administration, and key stakeholders.

Before joining Blic, I worked at the Ministry of Finance as Special Adviser to the Minister of Local Government and Regions. In this role, I was particularly responsible for state funding for wellbeing services counties and its development, as well as steering tasks related to these regions. As Special Adviser, I was also in charge of preparing legislation concerning social and health services on behalf of the National Coalition Party. During the 2023 government program negotiations, I served as secretary for the working group negotiating social and health services.

Prior to my role as Special Adviser, I worked as a social and health policy expert for the National Coalition Party’s parliamentary group, Secretary-General of the National Coalition Party Women’s League, parliamentary assistant to a minister, and assistant to a Member of Parliament.

I am passionate about developing new solutions, solving problems, and creating opportunities to change the world. In my previous work, I have seen how new solutions and innovations emerging in companies provide concrete ways to address the greatest challenges of our society. Enabling this development makes it exciting to work together with Blic’s clients. With my expertise and networks, I can bring the private and public sectors together to find solutions.
