About Me

My work is centered on technology and society and how it intersects with philanthropy, policy, and organizational strategy.

My recent work includes establishing and directing the Spyware Accountability Initiative, co-founding the Green Screen Coalition on tech & climate, and managing a $125M grantmaking portfolio.

I’ve led organizational transformations for institutions large and small, managed global convenings for technology and nonprofit leaders, and directed landscaping and strategy research initiatives.

I recently completed a full term at Ford Foundation as a Senior Program Officer with the Technology and Society team. I managed a global $125M grantmaking portfolio on public interest technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and more. I also developed and led the Technology Fellows program to transform the institution’s ability to integrate technology expertise into all areas of work.
