We’re pleased to announce the addition of two new members to the Board: Dona Bellow and Alexander Macgillivray.
Dona currently works at Reddit and leads Platform Safety Policy, a team that partners cross-functionally to develop and evolve the corpus of policies that support the Reddit community, its content and product experience. For the past 3 years, Dona also served as an Advisor to the Trust & Safety Professional Association, where she supported various panels and conference appearances, TrustCon programming, as well as opportunities to strengthen professional connection and mentorship within the trust & safety community. Prior to joining Reddit, Dona worked on safety challenges across legal policy, child safety operations, product policy, and responsible innovation programs, at small and very large organizations — including Google, Airbnb, Twitter, Meta, and a 100-person startup. Dona is a native of Togo (West Africa) and grew up in France where she completed her education in Public International Law & Human Rights.
Alexander “amac” Macgillivray, a lawyer and technologist, is a returning Board member following his departure from his most recent role as Deputy Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer (CTO) with the Biden-Harris Administration. He is a co-founder of TSPA and TSF. Previously he worked on Technology Strategy & Delivery for the Biden Transition; was Deputy U.S. CTO for the Obama-Biden Administration; was General Counsel, Head of Corporate Development, Trust & Safety and Communications for Twitter; and Associate General Counsel for Google. He has been a board member at Data and Society and CAMFED USA; a co-founder and board member at Alloy.us; and helped found the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard Law School. He holds a JD from Harvard, a BA in Reasoning and Decision Making from Princeton, and a NJ Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education. He lives in Washington, DC.
We are excited to have their valuable experience and guidance on the Board as we continue to support the global community of trust and safety professionals. To learn more about the TSPA team, including the rest of the TSPA Board, please visit this page.
