Sean Brooks is Director of Responsible AI at Microsoft AI with a decade-long career at the intersection of security, policy, and technology. He has led adversarial threat modeling and resilience programs at Meta, founded the world’s first public-interest cybersecurity clinic to protect journalists and NGOs, and served as a privacy engineer at NIST—bringing rare experience across product counseling, policy development, and hands-on incident-oriented design. Sean is skilled at translating high-stakes governance and threat-ideation into operational safeguards for large platforms, and he repeatedly builds cross-disciplinary teams and educational programs to scale impact. Based in Davis, California, he pairs public-sector rigor with tech-industry execution, and his background suggests a pragmatic focus on operationalizing ethics and safety rather than abstract principles alone.
