AI Governance & Strategy ยท Board-Ready

Your board wants cyber accountability.
Your adversaries are already inside.

The gap between board-level accountability and operational AI deployment is where organizations face their greatest exposure โ€” and where most governance frameworks stop working.

The threat landscape has shifted. AI governance gaps are now a material business risk โ€” not a future concern.

Who We Work With

Built for the executives who own the accountability

AI governance without a human-layer strategy leaves the most consequential risks unaddressed. We work with the leaders who can't hand that problem to IT.

CEO

"My board wants AI ROI proof and I can't show it yet โ€” and I can't explain the risk either."

Board Alignment
CFO

"36% of organizations have already experienced AI incidents with material financial damage. I don't have a framework for quantifying that exposure before it hits the P&L."

Financial Risk Quantification
General Counsel

"We have AI regulatory exposure we can't articulate to the audit committee."

Regulatory Risk
CHRO / CPO

"Our workforce isn't ready for agents โ€” and nobody in this organization owns that problem."

Workforce Readiness
CISO / CIO

"26% of organizations can't detect unauthorized AI agents operating internally. I own the infrastructure โ€” but not the governance layer that should be catching this."

Agentic Oversight
Board Directors

"We know AI is material. We don't know how to challenge management on it with credibility."

How We Work

Three ways to engage โ€” matched to where you are

Every engagement starts with a clear outcome, not a scope of work. You choose your entry point based on urgency and readiness.

01
Executive AI Briefing
For: CEO ยท CFO ยท General Counsel ยท Board

A structured 90-minute session that gives your leadership team a clear picture of your AI exposure, board communication gaps, and governance readiness โ€” with language calibrated for the boardroom, not the server room.

You leave with:A prioritized risk narrative, a board-ready framing for your AI posture, and a concrete next step.
Schedule yours
02
AI Governance Readiness Assessment
For: CEO ยท CISO ยท CIO ยท General Counsel

A 3โ€“4 week structured assessment that identifies where human-layer governance gaps exist across your AI deployments โ€” including agentic systems โ€” and produces a prioritized action plan aligned to ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF.

You leave with:A written assessment, a risk-prioritized gap list, and an implementation roadmap you can act on immediately.
Start the conversation
03
Advisory Retainer
For: CEO ยท General Counsel ยท Board Committees

Ongoing strategic access for organizations navigating active AI governance challenges โ€” regulatory pressure, board scrutiny, or agentic deployment at scale. Includes board prep support, incident response guidance, and human oversight architecture design.

You leave with:A standing governance partner who understands both the human and technical dimensions of your AI risk profile.

"The biggest agentic AI risk is that human oversight hasn't evolved accordingly."

John McLain, EY ยท September 2026

This is exactly what Human-Centric AI Resilience addresses โ€” the governance layer that evolves with the systems it governs.

PhD in Psychology

Behavioral risk, cognitive bias, and human-systems analysis applied to AI governance โ€” a dimension technical and legal advisors don't bring.

15+ Years Cybersecurity Leadership at VP Level

GRC, security risk management, compliance, and architecture across regulated industries โ€” not theory.

CAIO ยท ISO 42001 Lead Auditor ยท IAPP AIGP

The technical and standards fluency to operate across the full governance stack โ€” strategy through implementation.

Currently VP of AI Governance

Active enterprise implementation experience โ€” every engagement draws on what's happening in production environments today.
