Chiara is a firm believer in the power of associations and good governance, and passionate about stakeholder engagement and making complex things actually work (and simple things too). She studied public relations, and her career focuses on European medical associations, shaping education, science, advocacy and governance portfolios. 

Outside work, she’s an enthusiastic concert-goer, an avid reader, and always on the lookout for her next adventure, often guided by good food.

Karin has a rare talent for navigating the maze of Belgian taxes and rules, turning what others dread into problems, she genuinely enjoys solving. Between balancing budgets and untangling complex regulations, she carries the calm confidence of someone who knows every form and deadline by heart, and acts as a bridge between strategy and reality—translating complex financial data into clear insights that help the entire team move forward with confidence.

After work, she trades spreadsheets for stories—losing herself in a good book or the quiet magic of the theatre, where numbers give way to narratives.

Between translation tasks, she patiently answered the steady stream of support desk tickets, learning the rhythm of real-world emergencies behind every message. In her small way, she was already becoming part of a larger mission—helping knowledge travel faster than crises.
