OUR TEAM


Jean-Paul Judson
FOUNDER
Being half-English, half-French, Jean-Paul combines two approaches to life: whether it’s in law, politics, education, comedy or culture, nothing can be more different than each side of the Channel. This is why he learnt to contemplate sometimes contradicting options before making a decision – which makes him, profoundly, a moderator.
From his experience in European public affairs, his areas of expertise are: local, regional and urban policy; research & innovation; plant breeding, seed production and agriculture; climate action and circular economy; packaging; sports; gender politics.
Jean-Paul speaks English, French and Spanish.

Vitomir Šalamon
DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT OFFICER
Vitomir joined NOWMORE in November 2022, bringing with him a Master’s degree in Political Science from the University of Zagreb. With prior experience as a communications manager and content creator in both the private sector and the European Parliament Liaison Office in Zagreb, he is committed to making the often dry world of industry and policy more engaging and creative.
At NOWMORE, Vitomir manages social media accounts, develops effective communication strategies, does video production, and takes on a variety of additional responsibilities.
In his free time, Vitomir loves watching and playing sports, as well as organizing and taking part in general knowledge quizzes.
Croatian is Vitomir’s native language, and he is fluent in English. He can engage in conversations in German, but if someone wishes to speak with him in French, he appreciates it when they speak slowly and clearly!
