01 / ABOUTTrust is built
Trust is built
through collaboration.
Eight years at the intersection of digital identity, trust services and business development.
My work connects governments, technology providers and regulated organisations around a common goal: digital services that people can trust and use.
I focus on eIDAS 2.0, the European Digital Identity Wallet, remote signing and qualified trust services. I help translate regulatory ambition into partnerships, infrastructure decisions and practical deployment.
Alongside digital identity, I work on compliance automation: connecting governance, risk, evidence and audit readiness across multiple frameworks.
I’m actively involved in building the AI community, bringing people together through events, knowledge sharing and collaboration. My focus is where digital identity and artificial intelligence meet: trust, governance and the practical adoption of AI-enabled digital services.
