Jonathan Rufrano

Jonathan has close to a decade of experience in public policy and research at the intersection of emerging technology, human rights, and international affairs. His passion is stewarding the development and implementation of emerging technologies responsibly and for the benefit of humankind, and in democratizing access to the promises digital currencies hold. Jonathan is invaluable to FDCI as a digital currency policy subject matter expert and the bridge between international policymakers, technologists, and private sector leaders. He also works with the Global Ecosystem team at Chainalysis to de-risk and demystify digital currencies for regulators, law enforcement agencies, and commercial clients. Prior to joining Stanford, Jonathan worked in the United States Congress and the Texas Legislature. He graduated with Honors in International Relations and Technology Policy at the University of Texas at Austin and holds professional certificates from Harvard, MIT, the Intern-American Development Bank, and Duke Law.
