On this episode, Bruce and Mariana speak to Dylan White. Dylan is a Press Officer and occasionally steps in as NATO’s Acting Spokesperson, speaking on the record for the Alliance. We find out how NATO’s press office works with hundreds of journalists from dozens of countries attending a summit, and what it feels like to speak for 30 NATO member nations. Dylan also shares valuable tips for young professionals about how to make your voice heard as the youngest person at the table, and tells us about the time he wished he was a chameleon at his very first summit in Warsaw.
