When Boards Engage Me
Boards typically engage me when:
- Technology risk is outpacing the board’s line of sight
- AI adoption is moving faster than governance confidence
- Cyber and operational risks are converging
- Decision-making is becoming harder to interrogate.
How I Support Boards
- Strengthening governance around AI-shaped decision-making
- Challenging blind spots where control appears stronger than it is
- Bringing independent judgement at decision-critical moments
- Helping boards govern where power is shifting into architecture.
