Vidhya Ramalingam

Vidhya Ramalingam is the founder and CEO of Moonshot, a company that builds technology to interrupt online violence, abuse, and radicalization before it spills into the real world. Trained as an anthropologist who did field research inside white nationalist movements, she now runs digital interventions across more than 25 countries, testifies before legislatures on both sides of the Atlantic, and advises tech platforms and governments on keeping people safe online. Her core conviction is unfashionably simple: people can change, and the same sense of belonging that pulls someone into a hate movement can be used to pull them back out.
