About me
Hannah works with companies across the technology sector to integrate human rights-based approaches into company policies, products, services, and strategies.
She has worked extensively with companies to prepare for and comply with human rights-related regulatory requirements in ways that leverage existing HRDD processes and frameworks and align with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This has included conducting and reviewing systemic risk assessments and similar assessments under the EU Digital Services Act and the UK's Online Safety Act and preparing for requirements under the EU's AI Act and CSDDD.
She regularly works with BSR member companies across all industries to understand the social and human rights implications of facial recognition, surveillance technology, affective technology, generative AI and artificial intelligence more broadly.
Prior to joining BSR, Hannah worked with the Skoll Foundation, where she co-led over $20 million in investments to identify social entrepreneurs with the potential to drive large-scale social change. Before Skoll, she spent six years working in anti-human trafficking in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Bay Area, where she focused on child exploitation. She is fluent in French.
Hannah holds a Master’s in NGOs and Development with a specialization in Human Rights from the London School of Economics and a B.A. in Political Science and French from the University of Michigan.
