Olena V. Ripnick-O’Farrell

Olena Ripnick-O’Farrell leads the Policy function at Grammarly, the leading AI communication partner trusted by more than forty million users and fifty thousand organizations that recently acquired the collaborative AI workspace platform Coda.  

A seasoned tech attorney with extensive experience in the AI space, Olena joined Grammarly following her tenure at Meta, where she worked across the product and policy groups and advised on the development of a myriad of its AI offerings, including Llama (Meta’s openly available large language model) and MetaAI. A graduate of Columbia Law School and alumna of the Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts, Olena is an advocate for neuroinclusion and was named a 2024 Top 40 Under 40 by the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association. Olena’s favorite copyright issue to discuss is fair use, and when she isn’t supporting Grammarly’s efforts to build the future of AI productivity, she enjoys skiing, playing Mahjong, and spending time with her wife and two young children.
