Career directions I'm considering

AI Governance

Developing policies, controls, and processes for responsible AI use inside organizations.

AI Strategy

Helping organizations decide where AI makes sense and how to connect technology investments to business goals.

Technology Leadership

Leading teams and programs that combine technology, security, data, and business operations.

Building on cybersecurity

My goal is not to leave my technical background behind. I want to build on it by adding the business, governance, and leadership skills needed to make decisions about AI at an organizational level.

Security and AI governance overlap in areas like risk, compliance, privacy, controls, and responsible use, which makes this degree a logical next step for the direction I want to take.

Long-term goal

My longer-term goal is to grow into senior AI governance and technology leadership roles where I can understand both the technical risks and the business decisions behind AI.
