The RISE Cities program was launched by the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt and aims to advance responsible leadership in cities and global knowledge of resilient, intelligent, sustainable, and equitable (RISE) cities.

From 2022 - 2024, I shared insights on designing equitable public spaces, designed and hosted the masterclass on systems thinking for public innovation, and provided one-on-one coaching support for 40+ tandems of public servants and project leaders from 20+ cities throughout Europe.

SOAM is a catalyst for collaboration, experimentation, and learning aimed at transformative change. Since 2021, it has connected diverse individuals, projects, and perspectives to challenge established paradigms and cultivate new possibilities. In 2023, I served as curator and mentor for SOAM’s Residency Program, which offers participants a focused environment to advance their projects and engage with peers across various disciplines and backgrounds.

The Prototype Fund is a funding programme of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which is managed and evaluated by the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany. It provides financial and non-material support for Individuals and small (interdisciplinary) teams to test ideas and develop open source applications in the fields of civic tech, data literacy, IT security and software infrastructure.

From 2016-2022 I provided strategic advice and coaching on human-centred design, ux, agile project management and open source business modelling to teams and fellows of the program.
