I give keynote presentations and workshops at global and regional educational institutions and industry events like ESOMAR, Stockholm Digital Dimensions, Moscow International Advertising Festival Red Apple, The Rhodes Forum.

Driven by natural curiosity, I co-founded Digital Vocabulary, an award-winning initiative aimed to educate and empower modern digital citizens. It''s an ongoing pro bono study of human relations with digital media and technology.

I strongly believe in initiatives based on ideas that empower and provide real value to people and communities.
