Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Gregory is an AI security and strategy leader with a decade of experience translating frontier research into safe, production-grade public services and products. Former Head of Data Science for GOV.UK, he led the UK’s first government chatbot and the GOV.UK Companion agentic AI programme, delivering multi‑million pound initiatives used by millions and briefing Ministers and international delegations. He pairs hands‑on Python and LLMOps engineering with board‑level governance expertise—risk modelling, DPIAs, red‑teaming and regulatory alignment—gleaned from crisis responses including Brexit and COVID work reported to No.10. Currently on a planned career break in Kuala Lumpur, he is available for remote advisor-to-the-board and strategic AI consultancy, and continues hands‑on research as an AI Security Research Fellow building threat models for misaligned agents. Unusually for a senior leader, he started as a PhD genetic engineer and teacher, which gives him a rare blend of experimental rigor, domain empathy and practical product delivery.
