The Relatable CyberSecurity Leader - Sisi Nerd
I am a multi-award winning AI Governance and Cybersecurity Leader, best selling, global keynote speaker, author and founder.
I’m a mocktail of deep technical expertise, exceptional communication skills and strong business acumen.
I particularly loveeeeeeeeee to serve leaders who want to do more than say they govern their AI but instead prove they do, in a heartbeat!
Through Dextily, my AI governance advisory, I have:
→ Helped an insurance company go from no AI governance to ISO 42001 audit-ready in 3 months.
→ Translated NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications & LLMs and MITRE ATLAS into internal controls for a software company, with named owners and evidence attached to each one.
→ Built the governance layer for agentic deployments: MCP architectures, tool calling, agent-to-agent communication and human approval gates.
→ Delivered engaging briefing sessions to executives across North America.
HOW I WORK
I partner with your teams rather than handing you a report. I will tell you when the answer is no.
My engagements typically cover:
→ AI risk assessment and readiness gap analysis
→ AI management system design and implementation (ISO 42001)
→ Governance models for AI usage across the organisation
→ Advisory across engineering, security, compliance and business leadership, where I act as the translation layer between them.
The goal is an AI management system that inspires confidence in your internal teams, your customers, your board and your regulator.
I’m also passionate about democratizing access to cybersecurity and AI education that enables underserved communities to secure opportunities, build resilience, and thrive. I do this very important work through my non-profit, CyberSafe Foundation.
I also serve as the editor-in-chief of AI Cyber Magazine; the only technology publication in Delta lounges across the United States. The magazine is also read by thousands of readers across our partner network of hotels, airports and airlines across 3 continents.
