About İTümer
I am an LL.M. candidate in Law, Technology & Entrepreneurship at Cornell Tech, focusing on AI policy, technology ethics, and the legal challenges of emerging technologies. At the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), I have worked for nearly a decade in roles spanning technical, programmatic, and external relations-focused roles.With a foundation in human rights law, I bring experience in multilateral policy and advocacy to today’s fast-moving debates on technology and society. I am especially interested in how AI governance can balance innovation with the protection of rights, equity, and accountability.I am also a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), facilitator, and trainer, with a strong commitment to leadership development and values-based organizing. I believe that effective technology governance requires not only legal expertise but also collaborative leadership and inclusive participation.
