This curiosity led to an academic path that would take him through some of the world's most prestigious institutions—Harvard Business School, the University of Oxford, MIT, and the Wharton School.
At Oxford, Dakota's research focuses on the philosophy of Jeremy Bentham, particularly as it applies to modern ethical dilemmas in artificial intelligence.

This role allows him to combine his legal expertise with his passion for ethical business practices, advising clients on complex corporate matters while maintaining the highest standards of integrity.
