Ana advises clients on risks and opportunities in EU regulation and policymaking and providing strategic support to businesses on how to engage with these issues.

Ana leads the EU member states’ policy practice. Prior to joining Global Counsel, Ana covered policy developments in the EU institutions and member states for several organisations in Brussels and Madrid. She also has experience in the European Parliament’s Directorate-General for External Policies and the British Embassy in Spain.

At GC, Ana advises clients on how politics, regulation and policymaking in EU member states create risks and opportunities, and identifies strategies to help businesses meet these challenges. She also focuses on horizontal policy issues and political developments in the EU institutions and how these interact with the priorities of EU capitals.

Recent examples of her work include: 

  • Helping clients identify potential opportunities arising from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Fund, both at EU and member state level. 
  • Analysing the business implications of member state election results for corporates and investors.
  • Advising clients on the European Commission’s ‘digital green certificate’ and potential ramifications for the relaunch of tourism ahead of the summer.
