  • Proactive Partnerships: We are moving from a reactive response posture to collaborative models that unite tech giants and law enforcement.

  • Empowerment through Advocacy: I have testified in several legislatures in several countries. I thrive in these high-stakes environments, and land messages clearly and without contention.
