Given the increased importance of European regulation to the technology sector, Chamber of Progress is expanding its footprint to Europe by adding a new Senior Director for Europe, Kayvan Hazemi-Jebelli.  Jebelli, who is based in Brussels, will lead the organization’s work on European and transatlantic tech policy. 

Jebelli published a blog post detailing the importance of bringing a progress-oriented tech-optimistic perspective to tech policy debates happening in Europe.

Jebelli previously served as Competition & Regulatory Counsel to the Computer &  Communications Industry Association (CCIA), and has over a decade of experience working as a competition lawyer in private practice, in the European Commission Directorate-General for Competition, and as a visiting researcher at King’s College London.

“Technology is a driver of progress, and that tech optimistic perspective is missing from today’s policy debate in Brussels,” said Jebelli. “Good policy creates a foundation for tech innovations that lead to more progress, abundance, and wealth for all Europeans. With Europe’s economy in a period of stagnation, it’s time to refocus EU tech policy on European innovators, consumers, and tech accessibility that will benefit everyone.”
