Background

About Adrien Leclercq

As an engineer by training and a risk leader by practice, I specialize in bridging the gap between technological innovation and responsible business. My core focus is on navigating the complex landscape of emerging risks, particularly in Artificial Intelligence and Online Safety. At Spotify, I lead initiatives to identify, analyze, and mitigate risks associated with our most advanced technologies. I've been instrumental in shaping our strategy for the EU AI Act and the Digital Services Act (DSA), addressing AI-related issues, and translating complex technical challenges into clear, actionable business strategy for stakeholders at all levels. What sets me apart is my ability to understand the full stack — from the underlying code to the overarching business and regulatory implications (SOX, GDPR, DSA, AI Act.). I don't just identify problems; I build solutions, including developing my own AI tools to enhance my team's efficiency. I am passionate about ensuring that technology, especially AI, is developed and deployed safely and responsibly.
