Navigating Israel/Palestine

I help university and business leaders manage and mitigate the inherent challenges associated with the conflict in Israel/Palestine.

I draw on unique knowledge, relationships and insights from a decade leading the Pears Foundation where I worked closely with Jewish and Muslim communities, frequently interacted with vice chancellors and diplomats, and made 25 visits to the region.
