AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Security, Peace and Conflict
Security and conflict play a critical role in how we see the world and how governments use resources. I have extensive expertise working with government leaders to develop effective security and diplomatic strategies and have focused throughout my career on what works in preventing violent conflict. Examples of my work in this area include:
Researching the role of trauma in the security sector and developing practical guidance on trauma-informed approaches
Advising security sector leaders on risk assessment, strategy, and financial and human resource management
Leading assessments and evaluations for development programs and research focused on security, peace and conflict
Governance and Management
Governments, NGOs and others working in the public sector face significant challenges in our current context of accelerating change and widespread depletion of resources. Drawing from extensive experience in governance and public sector reform, I support organizations in:
Planning for an uncertain future
Aligning human and financial resources with strategic goals
Developing more transparent, accountable approaches to management
Exploring and applying new techniques, including regenerative approaches to management
Climate and Environmental Security
Climate change and widespread harm to the environment are making us less secure. My contributions to this field include:
Leading research on security sector and community roles in environmental security
Designing new climate security courses for international military audiences
Facilitating high-level, interdisciplinary discussions on climate security, natural resource management, and resilience
Diplomacy and Negotiations
How we reach agreements is often as important as the agreements themselves. Today’s interconnected challenges, from the climate crisis to shrinking civic space, demand more creative and inclusive negotiation approaches.
