Karl was working with us in the policy department, focusing on the Digital Markets Act and digital tax. His expertise on taxation, and keen interest in digital policy and SMEs was particulary helpful. Karl has very good analytical skills -- he monitored digital files and provided analysis on impacts on SMEs. He's a teamplayer and highly motivated to contribute to the digital policy debate.
