Hi, my name is Liv

I architect "communications operating systems" that are data-driven, commercially focused, and geopolitically fluent. I specialize in designing the global-to-regional integration plans, measurement frameworks, and cross-functional (Legal, Finance, Ops) governance that a complex enterprise needs to speak with one voice.

I am a proven crisis commander. I personally built and led this system's ultimate stress test: the entire global response to the Germanwings 9525 tragedy. I managed all C-suite advisory, multi-national coordination, and cross-functional alignment to protect the Lufthansa Group's reputation.

This expertise in building robust, crisis-proof frameworks is built for a global footprint. I provide deep, actionable understanding of the world's most critical and volatile markets, translating geopolitical risk into commercial opportunity and reputational defense. My core focus is on high-stakes markets (GCC, Asia, EU) and critical sectors (aviation, logistics, infrastructure), where I provide actionable intelligence on the intersection of policy, labor, and commerce.

Delivering Measurable Impact

From global crisis management to integrated brand campaigns, I deliver results that drive business value and protect reputation.

From Geopolitics to P&L

My expertise is built for a global footprint. I provide deep, actionable understanding of the world's most critical and volatile markets, translating geopolitical risk into commercial opportunity and reputational defense.

The Gulf (GCC)

Native understanding of the intersection of sovereign narrative, national vision (e.g., Vision 2030), and commercial operations. I build strategies that align with and support high-stakes national champions.

Europe (incl. Scandinavia)

Expert navigation of the complex "Brussels-to-Berlin" regulatory environment, sophisticated ESG activist networks, and powerful labor unions.

Asia: China

Deep fluency in translating "policy test balloons" and state-aligned media narratives into commercial strategy.

Asia: India

A practical framework for navigating the complex, high-velocity landscape of federal (New Delhi) vs. state-level politics.

The Americas (US & Canada)

I build systems to translate Washington D.C. regulatory sentiment, investor-grade ESG activism, and aggressive litigation risk into concrete communications plans.

Africa (North & Sub-Saharan)

Focus on the critical "political-community nexus" and in-field intelligence. I design strategies based on constant sovereign partner engagement.

Strategic Communications Leadership

I architect reputation as a competitive advantage. In today's global landscape, communications is not a support function, it is a core driver of business value.

Predictive Crisis Prevention

I specialize in architecting early-warning systems that identify and neutralize reputation threats 72 hours before they become public. This moves the function beyond "crisis management" to "crisis prevention."

Geopolitical Intelligence

My expertise lies in decoding the world's most complex markets: The Gulf, Europe, the US & China—managing reputation amidst geopolitical dynamics.

AI-Powered Systems

I don't just use AI, I build AI-powered systems. I have hands-on expertise in developing Natural Language, Predictive, and Network AI models to deliver C-suite-level intelligence.

From Code to C-Suite Strategy

My career path has been a deliberate evolution, driven by a single observation: the most successful companies are not just the best operators, but the best storytellers and strategists.

The Foundation

I began my career on the front lines of technology, building UX/UI pages and writing code. This gave me a fundamental understanding of how systems work and how people interact with them.

The Realization

My "builder" mindset kicked in. I realized the problem wasn't a lack of talent, it was a lack of the right intelligence infrastructure. Instead of building a better user interface for a customer, I decided to build a better intelligence interface for the C-suite.

The AI Transformation

This led me directly to AI. I knew that to solve this problem at a global scale, simple code and dashboards were not enough. The system had to be predictive, understanding context, linguistic nuance, and hidden patterns across millions of signals.

Let's Start the Conversation

I'm ready to bring this level of strategic foresight and AI-driven intelligence to your organization. Let's discuss how to implement a predictive communications strategy that safeguards your global reputation.
