An early-stage project on geopolitical risk intelligence for companies exposed to cross-border shocks. Currently in customer discovery.

Global Affairs Program, Harvard IOP

Deputy Chair of the Institute of Politics program dedicated to global affairs, leading a fifty-person team that organizes events with former prime ministers, ambassadors, and senior policymakers, and building an internship pipeline connecting Harvard undergraduates with international organizations.
