Information about our speaker, Former Ambassador Marc Ginsberg
In 1994, President Bill Clinton appointed Ginsberg as Ambassador to Morocco making Ginsberg the first Jewish American to be appointed as an ambassador to a country in the Arab world. Ambassador Ginsberg was knighted by the King Hassan II—the first U.S. envoy accorded this honor.
Ginsberg served as the U.S. Special Coordinator for Mediterranean Trade, investment and Security Affairs. He was the CEO of the One Voice Movement Foundation and Chief Executive officer of Peaceworks, LLC. Ginsberg served as an adviser to Middle East and European governments and now serves as the founder and president of the Coalition for a Safer Web, a cyber counterterrorism and anti-extremism non-profit organization whose mission is to prevent social media platforms from serving as pathways for extremists and terrorists to plot, incite, and execute domestic and foreign acts of violence. The Coalition for a Safer Web currently advises Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the National Security Council on social media-based extremist incitement and operational planning, as well as private industry and civil society organizations.
