Vorathep (Dev) Sachdev

Special Projects Lead

I pivoted from biosecurity to help expand FIG through special projects and work on advising top talent in AI governance and sentience.

I have previously worked as Head of Coaching at Effective Thesis, founded my own career-advising organisation (Biosecurity Network), and run a career-advising business in Thailand. I am excited to learn from those I advise, build out FIG and continue to ensure that talent meets opportunity.

In another life, I was an intellectual property lawyer working in life-science regulation. Now, I hold a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, where I developed governance recommendations to improve biosafety and biosecurity in labs in Southeast Asia.
