About

I've spent my career helping people understand and address the potential benefits and risks of technology and helping business and technology executives foster more responsible cultures and practices. I spend most of my time professionally and academically digging into practical matters of trust, power, risk, and responsibility. As Global Lead for Digital Ethics at Avanade, I led the company's AI Governance team and Responsible AI policy implementation. I also led its Responsible AI and Digital Ethics advisory practice, with client engagements including AI Governance program design and implementation, Responsible AI training and workshops, and system and program assessments. Before Avanade, I led Forrester’s coverage of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) for 12 years, helping shape that market’s direction and growth. I guided corporate executives in their efforts to improve their corporate responsibility, enterprise risk management, corporate compliance, third party risk management, information security, and privacy programs. I was also a trusted advisor to scores of product and service provider executives, and I produced and contributed to hundreds of research reports, webinar
