Rowan Emslie

I have built a communications function from nothing three times, helped run a coalition that put a regulation on the EU statute book, and spent two years writing publicly about why policy organisations lose arguments they should win. The talks come out of decisions I have had to make rather than a framework I read about, which means I can be specific about the things that usually stay vague: the hiring sequence, the budget split, the compromises a coalition actually has to swallow. I am based in Brussels, travel across Europe, work in English, and take panels and moderation as readily as keynotes.
