Ashley Knight
I have spent my career working at the intersection of harm, technology and hope.
About
For more than 25 years, I have worked across policing, intelligence, cybercrime, digital forensics, data management and public safety technology.
Much of my career has focused on protecting vulnerable people, improving digital investigation capability and helping organisations respond more effectively to online harm. My work has taken me from frontline policing and sensitive intelligence investigations to international public safety technology, strategic market development and child protection initiatives. Some experiences change you. My work in online child exploitation investigations is something I will always carry with me. There are things you cannot unsee. But that experience has also given me purpose.
