Who is Pius
Who am I?
The concise, human version.
A strategist with a storyteller’s heart.
Hi! I’m Pius Fozan. I believe in slowing down to understand what truly moves people and shapes the world around us.
I am primarily a storyteller. But how do you tell a story when our lives are full of content slop everywhere? Everyone is telling a story. Which story do you listen to? There is no formula to it, except that you think as your audience. I have come to realise that I am not my audience.
This is one reason why I am also a process person. I like to understand what makes a human being listen to something, pay attention. So, I design a flow, a process, and I keep my people at the heart of it: what’s important for them. And you cannot do that without having compassion, without a sense of humility, and without fully accepting that you could be often wrong. There is always a possibility of unlearning that.
Now, in the LinkedIn style: I work at the intersection of advocacy, public policy, political movements, philanthropy, and media. I help organisations take shape and ideas find their ground. For about a decade, I’ve collaborated with founders and CXOs to build organisations and institutions, lead strategic initiatives, and craft communications that connect policy and purpose with people.
I am trained in public policy and administration and find fulfilment in building systems and structures. The condition of my work is that they must uplift people, nourish them, and create social well-being.
As a researcher and photojournalist, my work explores the transformation of political narratives and their influence on society. I document queer protest movements, far-right populism, and violence against minorities. My bylines in Politico, Scroll.in, The Wire, and The Diplomat capture moments where power, people, and policy collide.
It’s this mix of creativity, compassion, and strategy that shapes everything I do.
