How I help

I specialize in helping organizations establish practical, defensible AI governance frameworks that reduce risk, accelerate implementation, and prepare teams for emerging regulatory expectations. My work focuses on connecting legal, risk, data, and product stakeholders so leaders can deploy AI with confidence.

My approach

  • Start from the decisions executives need to make, not just abstract frameworks or technical details.
  • Focus on lightweight, reusable policies, templates, and workflows that teams will actually use.
  • Translate regulatory and technical requirements into clear, practical language for senior stakeholders.
  • Work collaboratively with product, data, legal, and risk teams to embed governance into existing processes.

Career highlights

  • Supported governance for 700+ AI/ML systems and more than $7B in AI and data assets.
  • Helped organizations stand up model inventories, AI risk assessments, and review forums.
  • Advised leaders on aligning AI initiatives with evolving regulatory and policy expectations.
  • Designed governance materials used across engineering, risk, and legal teams.

What you get

A short engagement that produces a board-ready, defensible story of your AI risk posture.

The AI Governance Audit gives you a clear picture of where AI sits today, how decisions are being made, and what leadership should prioritize in the next 90 days.

Core deliverables

  • 1-page executive summary that distills AI use cases, risk posture, and key decisions.
  • Prioritized risk & gap list with practical next steps for each item (owner, effort, impact).
  • Lightweight AI inventory snapshot so you can see where AI is running and who is accountable.
  • Regulatory & policy alignment view mapped to frameworks like NIST AI RMF and your internal policies.
  • 60–90 minute readout with leadership and key stakeholders.
The goal isn’t volume. It’s clarity. You walk away with a simple, defensible view your executive team can act on immediately.

How the audit works

1. Discovery & scoping (Days 1–3)

  • Quick intake on your business priorities, AI footprint, and key stakeholders.
  • Identify 3–7 priority systems or use cases to focus on.
  • Align on what “success” looks like (board briefing, regulatory readiness, etc.).

2. Deep dive on key use cases (Days 4–10)

  • Structured discussions with product, data, legal, risk, and operations teams.
  • Review of documentation, policies, DPIAs, model cards, and vendor contracts.
  • Map risks across data, models, operations, and governance.

3. Synthesis & executive story (Days 11–15)

  • Translate findings into a 1-page executive view and a short slide deck.
  • Prioritize actions by impact and effort, highlighting quick wins.
  • Facilitate a 60–90 minute readout with clear owners and next steps.
Example outcome: A client discovered an undocumented vendor model driving high-impact decisions. The audit surfaced the gap and led to simple changes in controls and documentation before a regulator asked.
