I am a Policy Manager in Google’s Washington, D.C. office where I manage a portfolio of issues related to international Internet policy, Internet governance, new generic top-level domains (new gTLD), and free expression. I drive Google’s engagement strategy with a host of international organizations (such as the UN, ICANN, IGF, and the ITU) and further Google’s open Internet goals within the international policy space. I also serve as Deputy Director of Google’s new gTLD program. In this role, I am part of an entirely new and cross-functional business within the company and I am responsible for all outreach to the U.S. Government as well as other key stakeholders within the space.
