    I lead Microsoft’s global AI Governance and Legal (GELL) function. We support AI innovation and acceleration by ensuring Microsoft’s technology is safe, transparent, aligned to global standards and laws, while contributing to human flourishing. I have direct responsibility for enterprise risk management, board reporting, driving Microsoft’s overall regulatory, legal, and compliance strategy for AI.
