A Harvard graduate with a wealth of experience in public affairs, Stephen previously worked at the European Climate Foundation, advised the Belgian government, and currently lectures at Brussels’ Solvay Business School.

Stephen’s book left us positively enthused and hopeful about what politics could be, and probably will be.
