Bio
For Erin, the strength lies in the process. She supports our clients in designing engagements that are intentional and address the shared interests of you and your stakeholders. This involves challenging your thinking to look beyond the usual stakeholder routines and identifying blind spots where engagements generate more or different value (without it feeling like a one-size-fits-all approach). By creating a process in which your stakeholders understand how you matter (more) to them, your message can be heard in a way where everyone feels part of the solution.
Alongside Erin's work as a consultant, she is currently pursuing her PhD at Leiden University, focusing on how policymakers interact with diverse stakeholders in national and EU policymaking processes. Erin is also a researcher for the Lobbying and Democratic Governance team at the University of Ottawa, which focuses on how public and private actors engage in Canada.
Before that, Erin was a lecturer and researcher in an NWO-funded research project focusing on the influence of stakeholders in EU regulatory processes. She also interned with Heineken's Global Public Affairs team and the European liaison office of the World Resources Institute. Erin completed her Master's in Public Administration and her Bachelor's in Political Science.
