She advises various governments and organisations, including the Italian Prime Minister, the President of South Africa, the Vatican, and the World Economic Forum.

She has addressed governments, public agencies, and businesses in countries such as the USA, UK, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Brazil, Singapore, and China, discussing the state's role in modern capitalism and strategies for achieving inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
