Hello!

I'm Flaura, I build the research systems that help global organizations decide, build, and lead. Currently a Staff Researcher at LinkedIn, I lead UXR for India and Global Trust & Safety, defining how human judgment and AI automation intersect to protect platform integrity at scale. 

 

With 13 years of experience, including zero-to-one initiatives at Microsoft, I have evolved research from a descriptive service into a strategic engine. I specialize in high-stakes, ambiguous spaces where I align executive leadership around future-state operating models and embed evidence directly into long-term business strategy.

​

How I Drive Impact

• Research as Strategy: I move research from a descriptive support function to a predictive engine. I set multi-year visions that align cross-functional leadership around future-state operating models and long-term business strategy.

• Systemic Scalability: I focus on building research systems, not just projects. By designing frameworks and governance models, I ensure that evidence-based decision-making is embedded directly into product roadmaps and policy.

• AI & Resilience: I specialize in high-stakes, ambiguous spaces. I translate complex data and risk signals into actionable guidance, ensuring AI-powered systems remain trusted, ethical, and resilient beyond short-term metrics.

• Leadership & Mentorship: I believe in elevating the craft. I mentor senior researchers to become influential, business-facing leaders who bring operational fluency and systems thinking to every engagement.

​

My approach is rooted in foresight strategy and systems thinking. Whether I am navigating the "Future of Work" or defining "Platform Integrity," my goal remains the same: to shape how the world’s most influential companies decide, build, and lead.
