Sylvia Caravotas

With close to 20 years of managerial and consulting experience spanning several continents in the government and private sector, I have a proven track record of successfully navigating the intersection of business and government. Adept at building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders, I specialise in providing expert counsel on government affairs, legislative advocacy, and policy analysis. 

With a passion for shaping policies that safeguard national security and a commitment to fostering productive relationships between the public and private sectors, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.

I thrive on deciphering the nuances of government policies, identifying opportunities for positive influence, and navigating the regulatory landscape to create solutions that resonate with the interests of both industry stakeholders and governmental bodies.

My journey in government relations has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a relentless pursuit of positive change within the defence industry. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working at the intersection of policy, politics, and security, influencing policy decisions and contributing to the formulation of impactful strategies that resonate with the dynamic needs of the sector.

I believe that effective government relations is not just about understanding policies; it is about crafting compelling narratives that resonate with decision-makers, building bridges of understanding between the public and private sectors, and fostering collaborations that strengthen defence capabilities.

My mission is clear - to be at the forefront of initiatives that contribute to the advancement of defence policies, ensuring that they not only meet the challenges of today, but also anticipate future requirements. By combining my deep understanding of government processes with a proactive approach to advocacy, I aim to drive positive change and foster an environment where innovation and national security go hand in hand.

I am always open to engaging in meaningful conversations, sharing insights, and exploring opportunities for collaboration. Whether you are a fellow professional, a thought leader, or someone passionate about defence, let's connect.
