Anastasia Powell

A highly organised policy expert with a passion for the technology sector looking to add value to an organisation in the US. I have developed subject knowledge and built strong networks across UK government, advocating for strategic policy development which balances security and prosperity in response to the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging technologies including Privacy Enhancing Technologies and Generative Language Models. As Assistant Private Secretary to the Minister for Technology, I championed the Digital Skills agenda and demonstrated leadership in coordinating the Minister’s response to closing the skills gap. I am keen to better understand the role of industry in responding to the innovative technological changes driving forward a new digital era.
