Previously, I’ve worked at a series A tech startup, studied cybersecurity and technology at Georgetown, and written features on AI founders and executives.

Much of my perspective has been shaped by traveling and working across West Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Along the way, I’ve learned a few languages–French, Spanish, and a very small bit of Mandarin Chinese.

I’ve also collaborated with a wide range of tech startups, VC firms, universities, founders, and media outlets.

Right now, I’m drawn to projects at the intersection of technology, security, and society. You can get in touch with me at elisemarieleise[@]gmail.com.
