Background

About Sofie Staelraeve

I’m a public affairs professional with a rich background in public policy, campaigns, and market access, particularly concerning stakeholder engagement in European markets. With a career spanning various sectors, I’m known for my (eco)system expertise and ability to build deep stakeholder relationships. My strong belief in the power of progression and sustainability to reach prosperity, has always driven me to work for new technologies, business models and alliances- whether in private or public sector. Being an open-minded Belgian with a PhD on political crisis management, I know how to work in strongly regulated, complex environments and to persevere a mission, despite setbacks. During my career, I have served for local, regional, national and international political bodies, policy administrations, associations, boards and companies in Benelux, France, Germany and Slovakia. I have held political roles in social, health and economic policies. As an independent consultant, I have worked with startups, scale-ups and matrix teams in mature organizations. As a board member, I engage for education to anticipate the future.#publicaffairs #cities #SDG #stakeholdermanagement #marketaccess #partnerships #MissionDrivenLeader #mobility #EU #corporateaffairs #government
