Brendon M.

Policy and security consultant with 5+ years of experience supporting U.S. Executive Branch security priorities across biosecurity, emerging technologies, chemical security, and nonproliferation. I help government, industry, and research stakeholders assess risks, strengthen compliance practices, and translate complex technical, regulatory, and internal policy issues into clear, actionable guidance. My recent work includes AI red teaming for a leading AI organization, where I evaluated model behavior, identified jailbreak vulnerabilities for frontier models, and contributed to corporate risk assessments for commercial AI products. I also have extensive experience designing and delivering workshops, tabletop exercises, stakeholder briefings, and research products for international security and technology governance projects. Core strengths include dual-use risk analysis, regulatory and export control research, AI and emerging technology governance, AI red teaming, biosecurity and chemical security training, open-source research, and practical compliance-focused capacity building.
