Nowadays it is hard to find a better place to contribute to EU’s security than Frontex.
As a lawyer and political scientist, I have always been interested in security matters. I believe that in the globalised world, cooperation, strong networks and information exchange are key. I have been involved in EU law-enforcement for over fifteen years and witnessed the enormous change in that area despite legal and political complexities. Before I moved to Frontex, I was privileged to serve at Europol for eight years and see how security cooperation reached new levels. Still a lot remains to be done and there are challenges ahead of us.
The growth of Frontex is part of the European response to those challenges. I am glad I can contribute to this response by heading a Unit that facilitates the Agency’s partnerships with other EU agencies and international organisations. Together we are stronger and more effective. It is a pleasure to work with highly committed and professional colleagues who share the same vision and enthusiasm. Nowadays it is hard to find a better place to contribute to EU’s security than Frontex.
Frontex has a wide, complex mandate and plays a vital role in upholding Europe’s values and laws. Its operational footprint grows steadily and the Standing Corps is being built as Europe’s first uniformed service. It is great to be part of Frontex. What professional challenge can be more exciting than that?
