Senior Product Manager (AI & Cloud Security) · AI Strategy & Governance
Summary
Product manager and researcher focused on AI security — specifically, what happens when AI systems become autonomous agents with real capabilities and real attack surface. Background spans psychology, computing, and technical training across six countries. I spend most of my time translating emerging AI threats into things security teams can actually act on.
