As a consultant at Flint Europe, Ms Ponsardin’s lobbying efforts fundamentally aim to advance client interests by shaping UK and European Union policies in ways favorable to the business landscape her firm represents. Flint Europe’s core mission involves advising on the political and regulatory dynamics of individual EU member states and the UK, offering deep expertise in policy areas such as transport, energy, financial services, digital and telecom sectors, and health. Alexandra plays a critical role in advocating for regulatory clarity and commercial-friendly frameworks by engaging with EU and UK policymakers to:

  • Identify emerging regulatory risks and opportunities within UK and EU digital and telecommunication policies, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and growth for tech clients.

  • Influence legislative and policy developments so that they reflect the commercial realities and strategic objectives of UK businesses operating both domestically and within the European market.

  • Strengthen the voice of UK-based stakeholders in shaping future EU agendas post-Brexit, positioning Flint Europe to provide a bridge between UK interests and evolving EU regulations.

  • Promote trade facilitation and remove barriers that could undermine UK firms’ competitiveness in Europe.

  • Utilize Flint’s established political intelligence and scenario planning to help clients pre-empt and respond to policy shifts driven by EU institutions and UK government policies regarding data governance, competition law, and digital market regulation.

Thus, Alexandra’s work, reflective of Flint Europe’s approach, is not just about protecting clients from adverse policies but also about proactively setting agendas that align with the UK’s strategic economic interests within the European market context. Her lobbying is marked by a nuanced understanding of UK-EU relations and a strategic use of policy communications and stakeholder engagement to advance business-friendly regulatory reforms
