  • Ability to assess regulatory arbitrage opportunities while weighing legal, reputational, enforcement, and operational risks.
  • Strong commercial judgment and ability to support decisions in ambiguous or rapidly evolving regulatory environments.
  • Ability to work effectively with technical teams building AI, data, or regulatory monitoring systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief executives clearly and concisely.
