As the director of research and development for Jigsaw, Yasmin Green leads the team’s innovation efforts and oversees projects on counter-radicalization and fragile states. Green helped create the Redirect Method, which uses targeted advertising to divert at-risk audiences away from extremist content online. The Redirect Method was based on Yasmin's first person interviews with ISIS defectors in Iraqi Kurdistan, the U.K., and elsewhere.
