About

A policy entrepreneur working on the institutional edges of the AI transition.

I am an independent voice on artificial intelligence, workforce transformation, and the institutions that now have to govern both. My work is oriented toward the question most organisations are not yet built to answer: what does it take to absorb general-purpose AI without losing the legitimacy of the systems we are trying to upgrade.

Mission

The work, in one sentence.

To help institutions — ministries, universities, firms, and multilateral bodies — develop the literacy, frameworks, and confidence to meet the AI transition on their own terms rather than as passive recipients of it.

The terrain

Where the work sits — and what I am trying to contribute.

Domain

I work at the intersection of AI, education, workforce transformation, and public policy. The thread running through all of it is institutional: how decisions get made, who has standing to make them, and what kind of public reasoning the next decade will require.

Contribution

I contribute ideas, convenings, and editorial analysis. I translate emerging technical change into language that policymakers can use, and I build spaces in which serious operators, researchers, and officials can think together without performing for an audience.

What is distinct

My perspective is globally literate but institutionally specific. I am neither a techno-optimist nor a techno-skeptic by temperament; I am interested in what actually changes, who it changes for, and which institutions have to move first. I operate comfortably between Geneva, Beijing, and the broader international policy community.
