I am a foresight practitioner (otherwise known as a 'futurist') in the policy making space. I am a member of two organizations that focus on applying foresight in policy making space, one with a focus on intergenerational fairness and another on participatory futures (civic engagement & foresight).
Clients include the full run of international organizations, e.g. UNICEF, UNDP, and so on, and international foundations.
We're not in the business of predictions or focus on techno-solutionisms, rather we help policymakers and organizations understand different ways social change can unfold and impact them and help them build strategies that navigate around these changes.
I like what I do and feels it has high social impact. I just wish it paid better and wouldn't mind working with a long-term fund or VC as an additional side gig to make that happen.
