Adriana Capparelli

Adriana Capparelli is a senior London-based Director at Flint Europe, a prominent advisory firm specializing in EU affairs and public policy. She has built extensive expertise over more than a decade supporting technology, media, and telecom clients on complex digital policy issues across the EU and UK. With a background grounded in EU policymaking from her early career in Brussels and a strong academic foundation in political science and international affairs, Adriana advises on topics such as AI regulation, online safety, competition policy, cybersecurity, telecom frameworks, and digital market legislation. She leads Flint’s work helping clients navigate high-profile regulatory reforms including the EU’s AI Act, Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, and the UK government’s online harms and pro-competition initiatives. Her approach combines strategic engagement with policymakers and facilitating policy debates to influence an evolving regulatory landscape crucial for her digital sector clients. She is widely recognized for connecting business objectives with European policy trends, especially in the digital transformation and tech regulation arena

Adriana Capparelli’s lobbying efforts at Flint Europe are primarily focused on advancing the interests of clients in the digital, telecommunications, and media sectors within the UK and EU regulatory frameworks. Her true and nuanced intent is to shape and influence how emerging digital regulations impact these industries from both a market competition and innovation standpoint. Her work aligns closely with the UK’s broader digital policy ambitions of fostering a pro-competition environment that also addresses online safety, AI governance, and digital market fairness.

She acts as a strategic advisor ensuring Flint’s clients remain compliant with and can anticipate new legislative developments. By supporting multinational companies during the creation and implementation of the UK’s Online Harms Bill and pro-competition proposals, she helps position them advantageously in the UK market. Simultaneously, Adriana leverages her EU expertise to influence Brussels-level policies such as the Digital Services Act that have significant spillover effects on UK regulations due to close alignment with EU digital standards.

Her lobbying integrates enhancing UK competitiveness as a digital hub by promoting balanced regulation that encourages innovation while addressing privacy, cybersecurity, and fair competition concerns. Through cross-border dialogue facilitation between UK and EU policymakers, she helps to mediate policy approaches so Flint clients can navigate the complexities posed by post-Brexit divergence and harmonization efforts. Adriana’s deep relationships with senior political stakeholders reflect her role as a key influencer driving UK digital policy agendas that favor the tech and telecom sectors, ensuring business models thrive under new regulations while mitigating risks from stringent controls

Adriana Capparelli has been integral to Flint Europe’s active participation in EU and UK digital policy developments through numerous engagements and meetings with EU institutions and UK government representatives. She has attended high-level meetings with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), European Commission officials, and UK policymakers focusing on digital market regulations, AI legislation, and competition law reforms.

Her lobbying includes steering discussions around the EU’s Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, both of which set global standards shaping digital platform behavior. These debates have involved consultations with regulators and shadowing legislative developments to advocate for pragmatic rules that protect online consumers yet sustain market innovation. At the UK level, Adriana contributed to consultation processes for the Online Harms Bill and the pro-competition regime, helping frame these emerging laws to be compatible with the needs of tech clients.

Adriana’s involvement in policy workshops and hosting informal debate events facilitates knowledge exchange between policymakers and industry leaders on cybersecurity, AI ethics, and connectivity policy. These interactions have directly influenced regulatory drafts by integrating business perspectives into key EU dossiers and UK legislative frameworks. She has also engaged with trade associations like DigitalEurope and the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) to support coordinated industry lobbying on the Digital Network Act and audiovisual media services regulation.

Notably, she served a secondment at Meta’s connectivity policy team, deepening her insights into tech sector challenges and regulatory navigation strategies. Such positions have strengthened her ability to align client interests with policymakers’ objectives across jurisdictions. Adriana’s lobbying, backed by her academic research on ethics in lobbying and net neutrality, embodies a proactive strategy to shape digital governance policies that underpin UK and EU tech sector competitiveness in a complex regulatory environment
