Hello! I'm Soribel, an AI Governance and Regulatory Compliance leader with over 12 years of cross-sector experience spanning federal government, Congress, and top-tier tech companies. Currently serving in the Department of Homeland Security's AI Corps, I lead efforts to develop and implement AI policies and risk management strategies across critical national infrastructure. My expertise lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, risk, and regulation. I’ve led cross-functional initiatives on AI governance frameworks, intake and inventory processes, risk assessments, and regulatory alignment, including with the EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, GDPR, and emerging U.S. legislation. From managing AI Steering Committees to mitigating shadow AI and ensuring data privacy, I help organizations use AI responsibly and strategically. Previously at Meta and Microsoft, I worked on operationalizing the EU Digital Services Act and building global compliance frameworks for algorithmic accountability. In the U.S. Senate, I negotiated AI and online safety legislation and worked with federal agencies on policy implementation. My early career as a diplomat sharpened my ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and high-stakes negotiations. 🔹 Core Competencies: AI Governance Frameworks & Risk Mitigation Regulatory Compliance (EU AI Act, GDPR, CCPA, Colorado AI Act) AI Risk Assessments & Audits AI Inventory, Intake & Oversight Committees Generative AI Policy & Use (OpenAI, Azure AI, Gemini) Cross-Functional Program Management Data Privacy & Security (CIPP/E, CIPM Certified) AI Transparency, Ethics & Responsible Deployment Government Affairs & Legislative Strategy Core Skills: - Advocating for responsible innovation. - Advising: I have provided vital strategic and tactical advice to Ambassadors, Members of Congress, the Secretary of State and Big Tech leaders to inform their actions. - Alliance-Building: I have built alliances that served as a multiplier to achieve institutional or strategic goals.
