Interest:
I am interested particularly in the intersection of public and private. I would define my expertise as public-private engagement knowledge, drawing on experience with a few platforms and frameworks in the field. I am mostly interested in win-win solutions backed by strong commercial incentives, and less in ethical or responsible lenses to financial sustainability.
