Summary
I am a diplomat focused on engaging and mitigating risks in economic, political and cyber environments. More than two decades of experience in international and cross-cultural negotiations have proven to me that communication and collaboration are the most effective strategies for resolving the complex issues of our intertwined global society. I have lived, worked and studied throughout China, Southeast Asia, San Francisco, Washington DC, Iraq, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. My German and Chinese language skills have deepened my understanding of, and respect for the important political, cultural and social values throughout Europe and Asia. Undergraduate and graduate engineering degrees instilled in me an analytical perspective, a comfort with complex data, and an affinity for technology. Marriage and parenthood ground me, and are my motivation to have a positive impact today, for tomorrow.
