For executive search partners, CISO/vCISO, BISO, AI Governance leaders, Cyber Practitioners, board members, and strategic collaborators: the right path starts with the right conversation.

Direct inquiries are welcome.

Mani is available to discuss CISO, AI Governance Leader, Risk Management Officer, and Technology Risk leadership opportunities — as well as board conversations, advisory engagements, and strategic collaborations where deep AI governance and enterprise GRC experience is the differentiating requirement.

The best conversations are specific. Come with the problem you're trying to solve, the regulatory environment you're operating in, or the governance gap that needs closing. That context is where the operating experience is most useful.

Connect on LinkedIn ↗

LinkedIn is the primary channel. Messages with context on the role, organization, or conversation topic get a response. Blank connection requests without context don't.

Right Fit

Who This Is For

The contexts where the operating experience is most relevant.

CISO, vCISO, BISO & AI Governance Hiring Leaders

Organizations building or transforming AI governance, cybersecurity assurance, or enterprise GRC programs inside regulated financial services, insurance, or healthcare environments. Especially relevant where OCC, Fed, or GDPR scrutiny is a constant and compliance is a design constraint, not an afterthought.

Executive Search Partners

Search professionals working on senior technology risk, AI governance, GRC, or cybersecurity mandates for Fortune 500 and regulated-industry clients. The profile spans technical depth and executive strategy at the same time — a combination that is genuinely uncommon at this experience level and tends to shorten the search.

Board Members & Audit Committee Chairs

Boards and audit committees seeking an independent perspective on AI governance maturity, regulatory posture, or the adequacy of enterprise GRC infrastructure — particularly ahead of OCC, Fed, or GDPR examination cycles.

Cyber Practitioners & GRC Leaders

Fellow practitioners navigating AI governance buildouts, continuous control monitoring implementations, or the intersection of cybersecurity and regulatory execution. Collaborative conversations on the operational realities are always welcome.

PE Operating Partners

Operating partners engaged on portfolio company regulatory remediation, AI governance capability-building, or technology risk transformation inside financial services and fintech environments.

The Short Version

18 years. Fortune 100. Audit-defensible.

AI governance, cybersecurity, and enterprise GRC leadership built inside regulated financial institutions — with the certifications, academic credentials, and operating record to match the mandate.
