Introduction
I lead the Digital State Project at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. The Project seeks to improve the capacities of governments around the world as users, developers, and regulators of digital and emerging technologies. My current research and policy engagement focus on the emergence and governance of GovTech innovation ecosystems, in which small, innovative technology providers serve government as client. My work is international, including (to date) Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.
As one of the first staff member of the Bennett Institute, I also contribute broadly on strategy. I am engaged in postgraduate teaching at Cambridge, and offer advisory services to public institutions and SMEs.
I am the author of Thinking about GovTech: A brief guide for policymakers, a Bennett Institute publication that provides an introduction to GovTech on a global scale and 8 recommendations for fostering GovTech innovation ecosystems and steering them towards positive outcomes for citizens and public administrators.

I lead the Digital State Project at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. The Project seeks to improve the capacities of governments around the world as users, developers, and regulators of digital and emerging technologies. We aim to meet this objective through an expanding suite of work, initially focused on: the GovTech industry; and improving the digital understanding of policymakers. My current research and policy engagement focus on the emergence and governance of GovTech innovation ecosystems, in which small, innovative technology providers serve government as client. My work is international, including (to date) Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.
