NoteThe source confirms most elements of the claim but lacks specificity on several details. It confirms the PhD from Rutgers (though doesn't mention the dissertation topic was longtermism), the Open Philanthropy program officer role (though doesn't specify the longtermism portfolio), the Future Fund CEO role (though doesn't specify 'founding team' or 2022 date), and the Secure AI Project co-founder/CEO role (though doesn't provide the 2026-04 date). The claim's temporal specificity ('as of 2026-04') and portfolio specificity ('longtermism portfolio') cannot be verified from the source, which is a static biographical page. The source is current enough that it would show the Secure AI Project role, confirming that aspect, but the precise dating and portfolio details are unverifiable from this source.
