Professional Work
While at the international labor rights NGO Verité I specialized in managing research projects on forced labor, human trafficking and the exploitation of migrant workers in global supply chains. Here are some highlights from my time as a Senior Program Manager in the research and policy department:
Research: Forced Labor in the Production of Electronic Goods in Malaysia
I was instrumental in the development of pioneering forced labor research methodology in Southeast Asia and co-authored a first-of-its-kind study on forced labor in the Malaysian electronics industry. See the New York Times coverage of the release of this report here.
CUMULUS Forced Labor Screen
I also drove efforts to utilize data and technology to combat forced labor and human trafficking by increasing transparency in corporate supply chains and empowering workers around the world. I was the co-founder and co-inventor of the patented technology platform, CUMULUS Forced Labor Screen.
STREAMS Traceability Matrix
While this project has continued beyond my time at Verité, I was part of the initial team that conceptualized and designed the Traceability Matrix. I also researched and wrote most of the content on the Traceability Technology Page.
