With over 11 years of experience in global development, I am a Berlin-based advisor at the International Republican Institute (IRI), a leading organization that promotes democracy and human rights worldwide. I specialize in designing and implementing high-impact programs that foster democratic growth in closed and closed societies, focusing on countering foreign authoritarian influence and interference. Recently, I've taken on an additional role as Head of Foundation at AI REV, a boutique partnership of AI experts dedicated to transforming ideas into competitive AI-based solutions. Under the AI REV Foundation, I am privileged to scale up an initiative that significantly aids talented youth, empowering them to rise above poverty and fuel their passion for AI and Computer Science. I leverage my extensive technical expertise and regional knowledge to support and guide program teams across various divisions and countries. At the heart of my work is establishing and maintaining strategic partnerships, both within AI REV and IRI, with program partners, donors, and stakeholders. I provide targeted briefings for US government officials, as well as diplomatic and media representatives. Cumulatively, I have managed program operations exceeding $13 million in total value, pioneering innovative strategies that serve as models for other portfolios. I am deeply immersed in the confluence of democratic governance, human rights, and the transformative potential of AI and IT. My passion lies not just in advancing these sectors but in leveraging cutting-edge technological innovations to uplift communities and optimize efficiencies. I believe in harnessing the combined powers of AI and democracy to create tangible improvements in both individual lives and global systems.
