Meet Alexia Collot d'Escury Ariza, a law graduate who chose an unconventional path. Alexia transitioned from legal studies to public policy, now working on cloud computing, artificial intelligence, competition, and regulated industries at Amazon Web Services in Brussels. Her story reflects how careers in public policy increasingly sit at the intersection of government, business, regulation, and technology.
"I wanted to understand how the world functions with the Law rather than separately. I wanted to do more than contracts, legal cases or jurisprudence - I found it all in public policy."
