Marietje Schaake works at the point where technology, governance and power intersect. As a former Member of the European Parliament, she was directly involved in shaping Europe’s approach to digital policy, working on issues ranging from platform regulation to data protection and security.

Her perspective focuses on who controls technology and how decisions about its use are made. She looks at how AI and digital systems are governed in practice, how influence is exercised across public and private sectors, and what it means for organisations operating within increasingly regulated and contested environments. Her work brings clarity to how power is structured and how it shifts as technology evolves.
