Trained as a robotics engineer (MS, Georgia Tech), Andrew brings sixteen years of diplomatic experience to AI governance, focused on the operational readiness question: whether the institutions and organizations subject to AI regulation can actually comply with it. Most recently he led economic and digital policy at the U.S. Embassy in Riga, Latvia, where he built coalitions on digital security and positioned economic resilience as central to national security. Earlier postings spanned economic diplomacy in West Africa, staff work during the Biden transition for the Assistant Secretary for European Affairs, and technical surveillance countermeasures.
