AI governance and product policy leader delivering regulatory-safe revenue and scalable trust & safety systems.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI governance and product policy leader with 7+ years building safety frameworks that protect revenue while meeting regulatory requirements across regulated verticals. I have enabled £100M+ in annual revenue, architected EU DSA/AI Act compliance for a multi-billion dollar Ads business, and scaled Trust & Safety operations of 200+ specialists during hyper-growth.
At LinkedIn I own global safety strategy and commercial policy for the Ads business, delivered audit-ready enforcement workflows ahead of the EU deadlines, and built governance for AI-powered features adopted as templates for future GenAI launches. I designed path-to-yes policy frameworks that unlocked £25M+ in annualized Ads revenue and led technical collaborations that reduced false positives and saved hundreds of reviewer hours.
Previously at TikTok I led EMEA Trust & Safety operations through rapid user growth, built a globally adopted QA framework, and harmonized enforcement across 15+ markets. I combine regulatory strategy, operational scale, and commercial enablement to translate regulatory ambiguity into operational systems that ship.
