Hey there, I’m Tabea, working in tech with a deep expertise in data processing at scale and privacy and security, once founder of Twincler.  

Twincler built technology to protect users and the information environment at scale. We designed new ways for real-time data processing and built unconventional approaches to information retrieval for identifying irregular behavior on content platforms timely and fully automatically (Understanding Twincler). Our infrastructure tech has been used by counter-abuse, content safety, and identity teams of the world's most sophisticated tech companies to protect users at scale. In 2023, we decided to discontinue Twincler (learn more on our blog post). 

As the founder and CEO of Twincler, I served as an advisory board member to the project “Countering Russian and Chinese Propaganda and Influence Operations” at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington D.C. and helped develop responses. 

Since October 2022, I've been helping in designing and creating an open source syllabus for the next generation of trust & safety professionals with the Trust & Safety Teaching Consortium at Stanford University, initiated by the Stanford Cyber Policy Center. My focus areas are threat vectors related to platform abuse, algorithmic integrity, and identity.

Together with 35 representatives from the industry and academia, I had the great honor to be invited by the German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel for the first national expert summit on Artificial Intelligence in 2018.

Upon request, I provided an expert opinion to the German Parliament’s Committee on Artificial Intelligence (Deutscher Bundestag, Enquete-Kommission "Künstliche Intelligenz") about “Technology-driven disinformation”.

While building Twincler, the Boston Consulting Group and the Manager Magazin named me as one of the “Top 100 Female Managers in German Business” and one of seven “women to watch”. 

I’m a member of the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGAI) and an alumna of the American Council on Germany (ACG) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Young Leaders Program. 

I like hiking and being outdoors, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. You can also find me on X (@TabWilke) and Mastodon (@tabea@sfba.social). 

I have worked for more than 10 years in the tech industry in product, data analytics, and policy.  

In my Master's and Bachelor's studies, I focused on how technology impacts society and vice versa. In particular: The genesis and perception of online identities, political campaigning, nation branding, asymmetric conflicts as well as online recruiting strategies of terrorist organizations, and racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism (REMVE). I studied computer science, artificial intelligence, political science, economics, media effect studies, European law, LL.M., and cognitive science.

I like to explore unconventional approaches to make the information environment a more safe and secure place for everyone.
