Proud to Represent Firstboard.io at Davos 2026 🌐

I’m honored to be joining the Firstboard.io delegation in Davos this month, representing a community of technology leaders working to shape a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable future.

As a founder, board advisor, and IP strategist, I spend much of my time at the intersection of law and technology—translating complex innovation and regulatory challenges into actionable strategies for growth.

The theme of this year’s World Economic Forum—A Spirit of Dialogue—couldn’t be more fitting. Now more than ever, we need open, cross-sector conversations to navigate global complexity and technological acceleration.

Every board conversation on AI that isn’t rooted in governance, regulation, and real P&L impact is already out of date.

Board’s Role With AI in the Background

As I prepare to speak at several high-powered sessions in Davos, the one question that takes center stage is: what is the Board’s role when AI rewires the business model?

For me, the answer sits at the intersection of:

• AI strategy as a board‑level risk and value lever, not a side project for IT.

• Governance that treats data, algorithms, and IP as core fiduciary assets.

• Regulatory foresight that anticipates tech diplomacy, AI governance, and digital sovereignty debates, not just reacts to them.

• Capital allocation that rewards disciplined experimentation, not hype.

Help Scaling into the U.S. Market

In Davos, I will be attending premium gatherings, where policymakers, founders, and investors are coming together under a “better together” lens to shape resilient, tech‑enabled economies. I am especially focused on one thread: helping European AI and deep‑tech companies scale responsibly into the U.S. market with board‑ready governance, thoughtful IP portfolios, and regulatory‑aware go‑to‑market strategies.

My work sits exactly there—helping boards and leadership teams:

• Ask the right AI questions in the boardroom (before regulators or plaintiffs do).

• Build defensible IP and data strategies that travel across jurisdictions.

• Navigate U.S. regulatory complexity while preserving the innovative edge that made the company investable in the first place.

If you will be in Davos and are working on:

• AI governance and ethics

• Cross‑border scale‑ups (especially Europe → U.S.)

• Board‑level oversight of emerging tech

…let’s connect and compare notes. The next generation of AI‑native, globally scaled companies will be built by leaders who can hold law, technology, governance, and investment judgment in the same conversation.

I look forward to engaging with fellow leaders and changemakers throughout the week—and especially proud to do so alongside my fellow Firstboard.io members.
