The NAIC-ISAO works with the public sector, industry, academia, and allied nations to develop and share threat intelligence, research, and best practices about issues and opportunities at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity. I built the organization, its strategic partnerships, and cyber diplomacy programs from the ground up.

Under my leadership, the organization grew to more than 500 members and established a network of more than 1,000 VCs and 1,500 MSSPs. I established and led working groups and task forces with a focus on Sustainable AI and Ethics, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Research & Development, Cyber Capacity Building, Cyber Diplomacy, and Autonomous Government. Leading the critical infrastructure protection task force, we started the Cyber Eagle Program, which leverages our network to serve a $20 billion market of 1,000,000 companies in critical infrastructure in the US, ANZ, and NATO. Leading the Cyber Diplomacy Working Group, I had the NAIC ISAO inducted into the Global Forum of Cyber Expertise, an organization combining about 150 governments and some of the world's leading companies to fight cybercrime and raise cyber capacity worldwide, where we became a signatory of the Accra accord. I also expanded our relationship with the United Nations Ai for Good program and expanded the AI for Good Innovation Factory from North America to the Baltics and Latin America and was a VIP at the UN AI summit.
