As a risk and regulatory management executive, I led efforts at Google and X, to align operations with strategic policy goals. I led risk and regulatory compliance for the largest cross-functional regulatory portfolio, Europe’s DSA, as well as Ofcom, Singapore, U.S. (child safety-related). Most interestingly, I led AI audits and DSA tech audits, overseeing AI risk assessments in sensitive areas. In addition, I have significant expertise in the U.S. government (e.g., defense, national security, economic policy) and am multilingual, lived in Asia and Europe, proficient in Chinese (3 dialects), Italian, German and fluent in French.
