Who We Are

Systems Ethics Advisory LLC (SEA) is a strategic advisory firm specializing in responsible innovation and the governance of emerging technologies. We partner with leaders in government, industry, and academia to navigate the ethical, societal, and geopolitical risks shaping today’s innovation ecosystems.

Our approach is grounded in systems engineering, ethical foresight, and risk-informed strategy—empowering organizations to act proactively, prevent conflict escalation, and align innovation with global trust, resilience, and long-term mission goals. We advise clients across defense, government, industry, and multilateral institutions on how to integrate technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum systems, space infrastructure, and biosecurity tools in ways that are resilient, ethically grounded, and aligned with long-term institutional goals.

SEA does not provide legal services. While our founder has legal training, our services are exclusively strategic—focused on systems engineering, ethical analysis, and organizational planning.
