I’m very proud to lead a big team of motivated and committed professionals who help maintain the European area of free movement.
I have been leading teams of officers responsible for joint operations at the external borders of the EU since 2012. We deploy officers, vessels, cars and aircraft from different EU Member States to the external borders areas most affected by irregular migration. This requires effective management of people and equipment.
But we do much more than that. Our operations serve many different purposes - we support EU Member States in fighting different types of cross-border crime. We also help create a real European coast guard.
I’m very proud to lead a big team of motivated and committed professionals who help maintain the European area of free movement and make Europe safer, while promoting European values and fundamental rights.
