I help groups develop and deliver AI research and policy initiatives in fast-paced, high-risk environments worldwide.

During her 12+ year career, she has helped groups kick-start visionary initiatives, put clarity to ambiguity through strategy, and led ambitious multi-stakeholder concepts from zero to success.

With the World Bank and UC Berkeley, she has shepherded research initiatives to test, integrate, and scale machine learning to drive public sector efficiency while ensuring AI responsibility in the Philippines, India, and Bosnia. 

She has helped contextualize GeoMatch, an AI tool to improve refugee placement, to ready it for US launch and help meet demands of resettling 125,000 refugees per year as part of Biden's Executive Order 14013 while at Stanford University.

She has co-authored key policy position papers presented to senior officials at DHS, USAID, and OVP, influencing federal and foreign aid policy in the US.

A global leader in research, policy development, analysis, and stakeholder engagement, Elisa graduated with an MSc from the London School of Economics, with distinction.
