15 Years of Campaign Experience
From Portugal’s historic first broad-left confluence in 2011, to co-founding the successful green-left party LIVRE in 2013, to Europe-wide Green campaigns in 2019 and 2024. I’ve worked every aspect of campaigns. Won and lost. Professional setups and campaigns where every penny counts. From local level to pan-European. I understand your challenges, whatever they are.
As LIVRE co-founder and executive board member, I helped build the party from scratch – tending alliances, broadening the member base, running campaigns for the 2014 European and 2015 national elections. In 2016, co-founded the feminist platform Mulher Não Entra, spotlighting women’s erasure from the public debate. At the European Greens, I led data and research for the 2019 “Green Wave” and 2024 elections – working with parties continent-wide, especially Southern and Eastern Europe, to embed data in their strategies. For Groen’s 2024 Brussels local race, I ran a volunteer-based multilingual door-to-door campaign reaching over 1000 doors of non-Belgian Brusseleirs. Hands-on experience from party-building to grassroots mobilisation to data-focused strategy
Data, Data, Data – and Analysis
Led data strategy at European Greens for 7 years. I’ve published op-eds blending data and political analysis in international media like The Guardian, Der Standard, and Público. The foundation comes from years of studies – including an MSc in Political Science, strong engineering and mathematics background, plus further work in Lisbon and Berlin focused on studying the complex nature of Europe and European politics. Together with Europe-wide experience, I turn complex data into your clear insights.
🇪🇺 Europe.
Born in Lisbon, I’ve lived in Berlin and now based in Brussels. Since young I’ve been fascinated by the complexity of Europe, and along the years I’ve managed to travel all across the continent, having visited 49 of the 50 European states. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan and French, and learning Dutch. For me Europe is home. A unified yet complex home.
