I work at the intersection of foresight, governance, and ethics to help institutions navigate uncertainty and shape more inclusive futures. Over the past decade, I’ve supported governments, international organisations, and civil society across Europe and Latin America through scenario planning and by drawing on the broader field of Futures Studies. Much of my recent work has been with the OECD, where I’ve co-led foresight capacity-building programmes and scenario-based policy workshops in Lithuania, Italy, Malta, Ireland, Sweden, Portugal, Latvia, and Finland. These efforts have involved designing and delivering workshops, advising senior civil servants, and developing tools such as curricula, institutional frameworks, and comparative studies to institutionalise anticipatory practices. Alongside my consulting work, I serve as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Deusto, where I teach Politics, Information and Communication in the Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree programme. My background includes a PhD in Human Rights: Ethical, Social and Political Challenges, where I explored ethical governance through scenario planning in the electric utility sector. This bridge between academic research and real-world application continues through my writing and tool development. My work has been published in IEEE, MDPI, OECD Publishing, and Editorial Pirámide, always with the goal of making futures thinking more useful, inclusive, and actionable.
