Executive Director

Organisation for the Prevention of Intense Suffering (OPIS)

Biography

I'm an ethics strategist and social change advocate, and I run OPIS, a think-and-do tank focused on the prevention of intense suffering of all sentient beings. I've written two books on ethics and, on behalf of OPIS, the Compassionate Governance guide. I trained as a research molecular biologist.

Why I support the Compassion Coalition

There's an urgent need for us to collaborate globally and show that there are better ways of interacting with each other and making decisions, based on listening, addressing needs and preventing the worst forms of suffering.
