Hello!
My name is Vladimir Garay. I’m a communications specialist with ten years of experience in digital policy with a human rights approach
I’m interested in the social impact of new technologies. I studied communications and journalism and hold a master’s degree in Latin American studies. I have extensive experience designing communication strategies to advance human rights, build collaborative networks, and enhance brand visibility. I have led projects on topics such as artificial intelligence, freedom of expression, data privacy, state surveillance, and online content moderation, among many others. I am currently based in Santiago, Chile.
