Experience
Strategic Initiatives Program Manager Un Peace Operations
Apr 2021 — Present · New York, NY, US
I lead efforts to bring AI adoption, trust & safety safeguards, and digital transformation into UN Peace Operations, ensuring that emerging technologies like Generative AI and data-driven tools deliver real impact in civic and politically sensitive environments.One of my key initiatives has been designing practical prompt engineering toolkits, making AI accessible for staff working on governance, political analysis, and operational coordination. Beyond technology, I advise senior leadership on how to navigate geopolitical risks, digital disruption, and the challenges posed by emerging tech.I’m also active in shaping the UN’s approach to responsible AI governance, contributing thought leadership to ensure innovation is both effective and ethical.
