I am Annica – named by my sister after the friend of the rebellious Pippi Longstocking. I am the daughter of immigrant parents, grew up in southern Sweden and have been living in Brussels, Belgium since 2010.

I have more than 20 years of professional experience in public affairs, communications and representation. Since 2018, I have been working with authors’ rights, copyright, media policy and cultural diversity in Europe. Before that, I worked for eight years with a European civil society network on issues such as human rights, equality, non-discrimination and migration. I have been involved in civil society since 1999, holding several board positions and leading many projects. Read more on my LinkedIn.

When I am not at work or out and about in the Brussels cultural scene, I am pursuing a long-term personal writing project or contributing to an AI-powered startup. If you’re passionate about optimising your analytic workflows, check out Parsd.
