About Brenda Rivera

I am an attorney specializing in technology transactions, commercial contracts, and compliance. I recently obtained a Master of Public Administration degree from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. During my time at the Kennedy School, I deepened my leadership and negotiation skills—learning how to lead with empathy while effectively managing teams. I enjoy tackling complex problems, especially where policy, tech, and AI intersect. With a background in research, analysis, and project management, I like breaking down challenges and finding practical solutions. I work best in dynamic environments, collaborating with others, communicating clearly, and staying organized.
