Monica King is a federal lawyer, electrical computer engineer, and founder of Coherence Protocol — a first-of-its-kind biometric trust infrastructure for human-AI leadership systems. A US Presidential Medalist and Mensa member, Monica brings over 15 years of experience spanning IP law, AI systems, M&A strategy, and regulatory design. She began her career as an engineer at Boeing, helping design the 787 circuit breaker system and conducting NASA-funded robotics research. After earning admission to MIT’s IGO program and receiving the 30 Under 30 award, she transitioned into law—advising Fortune 500s and deep tech startups on IP, cross-border strategy, and tech policy. Monica now builds auditable cognition infrastructure—AI systems that detect emotional recursion, restore executive coherence, and ensure decision integrity in real time. Her approach combines polyvagal neuroscience, biometric patterning (HRV/GSR), and agentic AI, protected by a growing patent portfolio and clinical partnerships. Fluent in English and Chinese, she has led cross-border M&A deals totaling $15M+ and scaled companies 30x in under a year. At Coherence Protocol, she’s redefining leadership itself—proving that the future of AI isn’t just about outputs. It’s about internal signal integrity.
