Vishak Menon
I've spent the last 15 years working where technology and compliance meet, at Amazon, Meta, and now The Trade Desk. I write about AI governance, privacy, and the regulatory issues shaping big tech, from the perspective of someone who has built these functions.
About
Fifteen years of audits, regulator conversations, policy lines, and enforcement queues, at The Trade Desk, Meta, and Amazon. What that teaches you is what evidence looks like, and what theater looks like.

I take a small number of advisory engagements each year, across compliance, operations, and team turnaround.
