Hello, my name is
Evangelos
Palaskas
EU Policy Consultant & Dataviz
My story
I am an enthusiastic policy expert based in Brussels, with a rich experience of over 3 years in EU institutions & consulting.
Let's talk EU & Digital!
With my versatile education and professional experience in EU policy & data visualisation I have mastered the skills of understanding the latest (digital) policy trends and fitting them into my clients’ context.
Most of my working experience clusters around diverse EU policy areas such as Digital & Green Transitions, Security, Economic Governance etc. To that end, I have worked in EU project acquisition on topics around AI, and participated in project delivery by drafting WPs, conducting market analysis, and aligning & communicating with project stakeholders. Moreover, I am certified in PM² (Advanced), EC’s official project management methodology.
Due to my background in Digital Humanities & my mandate in Deloitte, I am skilled in data visualisation using Tableau to design impactful dashboards using visual best practices but also develop new business offerings and help other consultants become certified.
Being a strong advocate of learning & development I am Certified ScrumMaster®, Certified Scrum Product Owner®, and Tableau Consultant.
I invite you to collaborate on the concepts of EU policy research, project management & delivery, Tableau, and learning & development.
What I do
From understanding your requirements, fitting into EU’s context, designing a blueprint and delivering the final product, I do everything that falls in between these lines.
EU policy
Full-cycle of a project from the EU proposal to project management & delivery. I make sure the WP is up-to-date, the team aligned and guarantee the quality of the delivered work.
project management
If you are looking for a (digital) policy & innovation expert who’ll implement Agile PM and help you create client offerings to develop new business, I am a well-established professional.
Digital skills
As a pioneer in learning & development, I can help you design and lead l&d communities to identify learning resources, foster collaboration, create cross-functional teams with digital capabilities within your organisation.
