I founded Analysis Excellence to help organisations understand, assess, and strengthen the quality of their analytical work in a more structured and rigorous way.

I am a Germany-based political scientist, analyst, and consultant whose professional experience spans academia, international research programmes, non-profit leadership, and analytical consulting. I hold a PhD in Political Science from Justus Liebig University Giessen and an MA in Political Science from the University of Manchester. Since 2012, I have taught politics and research methods at university level and have spent more than fifteen years working across research (both in academia and industry), evaluation, and analytical consulting. Over the course of my career, I have contributed to international research consortia, held a senior leadership role in an international non-profit organisation, and worked extensively on analytical research, evaluation methodologies, and the production and assessment of policy-relevant analysis.

Analysis Excellence builds on this experience, but it is not built on individual work alone. I am joined by scholars, policy analysis experts, methodologists, and software developers with whom I have worked and developed professional relationships throughout my career across different countries and professional settings. This is further strengthened by a wider international network of collaborators, including political analysts, evaluation specialists, management experts, and other professionals whose expertise contributes to the broader development of the initiative.

I created Analysis Excellence on the premise that analytical excellence should not remain an abstract aspiration. It should be something that organisations can identify, assess, develop, and manage over time. My aim is to support institutions that produce analysis in building clearer ways of understanding their analytical performance — not only at the level of individual texts, but as an institutional capability that can be cultivated and strategically led.
