As part of GPD’s Online Content Team, Jacqueline provides analysis on regulatory and policy responses to online hate speech, disinformation and terrorist content. She leads GPD’s projects promoting business and human rights in the tech sector and combatting disinformation in Sub-Saharan Africa, developing tools and resources for policymakers, human rights defenders and corporate audiences.

Before joining GPD, Jacqueline worked in the International Law Programme at Chatham House, supporting the delivery of projects on human rights diplomacy, business sector support for civic space, and means of making multilateral digital governance processes more inclusive.
