Portfolio

Galina operates at the intersection of law, cybersecurity, and business strategy. Her career is defined by a singular mission: transforming the complexity of regulation, risk, and technology into clear, actionable roadmaps for sustainable growth. Whether architecting governance frameworks, shaping cybersecurity strategy, or leading cross-functional initiatives, she builds systems that not only protect enterprise value but actively create it.

Her work centers on three core pillars:
► Strategic Synthesis: Translating complex legal, regulatory, and technical requirements into executive-level strategy and decision-ready insight.
► Governance & Resilience: Designing durable frameworks for highly regulated environments that strengthen accountability, security, and long-term operational excellence.
► Entrepreneurial Leadership: Building trusted client relationships and leading multidisciplinary teams to scale impact across organizations.

Galina is passionate about bridging the gap between the boardroom, the legal function, and the IT suite, ensuring risk is understood not as a constraint, but as a competitive advantage.

A multilingual Business Intelligence Consultant, Program Manager, Speaker, and Writer, Galina specializes in transforming complex data and cyber-physical systems into clarity, alignment, and action. Her work spans advanced analytics, strategic program leadership, and expert guidance in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that threaten organizational trust and cybersecurity frameworks.

With a background that bridges technology, law, and communications, she excels at translating highly technical concepts for diverse stakeholders and decision-makers. Galina is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Cybersecurity Risk & Strategy through a joint program at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering and School of Law. She holds a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from the Free International University of Moldova, and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Public Relations from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania.

Securing AI-Driven Surgical Robots in Healthcare: A Unified Trust & Safety Framework from Deployment Through Decommissioning
May 2025 – Present | New York University

AI-driven surgical robots are reshaping precision medicine, yet they operate within complex cyber-physical ecosystems spanning hospital networks, electronic health records, and clinical workflows. These technologies are long-lifecycle assets, often deployed for over a decade, while the surrounding threat landscape and infrastructure evolve continuously.

A critical governance gap exists across the full lifecycle. Manufacturers design systems under one regulatory regime, while hospitals operate under another, including HIPAA, accreditation, and cybersecurity requirements. This disconnect leads to fragmented accountability, delayed patching, and unclear incident response, placing patient safety and institutional trust at risk.

Galina leads the development of a Unified Trust & Safety Framework that bridges the manufacturer-operator divide. The framework establishes actionable governance across six critical lifecycle touchpoints, from procurement through end-of-life, delivering practical tools and protocols for the secure, interoperable management of AI-driven surgical robots across both U.S. and European healthcare systems.

Impact:
The project delivers a policy paper and governance playbook that enables healthcare organizations to secure AI surgical systems, preserve innovation, and protect patients throughout the technology lifecycle.

Focus areas include AI governance and ethical framework design, full-lifecycle program management, and cybersecurity risk strategy.

The future of high-precision healthcare depends on trust by design.
