Theresa Yurkewich Hoffmann
AI, Tech policy and sustainability specialist,
Microsoft
I’m a strategic advisor and policy leader with 10+ years of experience working across international, public, and private sector organizations. With a JD and a background in political science, I specialize in navigating the complex intersections of law, technology, and public policy.
Over the past year, I’ve been working hands-on with cutting-edge AI technologies - exploring new use cases, deepening my technical fluency, and upskilling to stay ahead of the curve. This experience has sharpened my ability to identify emerging risks and opportunities, and to translate innovation into actionable, future-ready policy.
My work spans Responsible AI, tech regulation, and sustainability, and I’m passionate about shaping innovation while safeguarding public interest. I bring a global perspective, a systems-thinking mindset, and a collaborative approach to solving complex challenges.
Whether advising senior leaders, crafting advocacy strategies, or building cross-sector coalitions, I thrive at the intersection of foresight, governance, and impact.
In 2023 I won the WeAreTheCity UK Technology Rising Star Award for my work at the intersection of technology and sustainability.
