Fractional Chief AI Officer · Former Chief Audit Executive

Innovate with AI and stay in control.

I help executives and boards move quickly with AI while meeting their regulatory requirements. I know risk, compliance and controls from the inside. I have also run operations, bought technology and built products and delivered solutions with partners.

I have reported to boards, regulators and government, and worked with business, IT, security, risk and audit leaders, vendors and systems integrators.

Experience

I have been the auditor, the operator, the buyer and the builder.

  • i.

    Internal audit and the board

    I started in risk consulting at PwC and Protiviti. I then became Chief Audit Executive at the IESO, Ontario’s electricity system operator, reporting to the board’s Audit Committee.

  • ii.

    Leading a sector-wide change

    With no authority over the utilities, I led the team that brought 70 of them onto one shared service through a governance model the sector agreed. The change enabled the transition of more than 4 million customers to time-of-use billing. It came in $11M under its $89M budget. I then ran the service for 5 million customers with full operational accountability, led its $100M procurement and secured its revenue through a rate case.

  • iii.

    Building product and a software business

    At KX, I led product development. With systems integrators, we delivered solutions for utilities, energy exchanges and high-tech manufacturers, including semiconductor companies. The business grew from a standing start to 36% of KX revenues.

  • iv.

    Governing AI and agents

    Most recently, as Chief AI Governance Officer at an enterprise AI platform company, I was accountable for AI and agent governance and wrote the executive brief Governing agents at work.

Executive decisions

Which AI investments should you approve?

  • i.

    What will the result require, and how will you measure it?

    The business case covers the people, process changes, data, technology and oversight needed to deliver the result. It sets measures to assess whether the result was achieved.

  • ii.

    Which decisions will you delegate to AI, and on what terms?

    Letting AI act in your organization is a delegation of authority. It needs an accountable executive, limits set within the board’s risk appetite, and evidence that the AI stayed within them.

  • iii.

    Is your organization ready for it?

    I work with you to assess each use against your objectives and risk appetite. Together we check whether your data, people, processes, systems, integrations, infrastructure and controls can support it.

How Envyze helps

AI advisory and executive leadership.

Envyze is independent of technology vendors, so every recommendation is about what fits your organization.

AI strategy and the business case

Prioritize AI investments and make the case for each.

  • Total cost, including the people who review and correct the work.
  • Measures that show whether the result was achieved.

AI readiness and data governance

Assess whether your organization is ready for the AI you plan, from data and systems to people and processes.

  • As AI produces more, people need the expertise, authority and time to review it and handle the harder cases.
  • Data ownership and quality, and the systems and integrations it depends on.
  • The changes your processes will need.

AI and agent governance

Set what AI and agents may do, and who answers for it.

  • Delegated authority, limits and controls in proportion to the risk, with evidence for the board.
  • Oversight that continues after launch, with clear points to expand, restrict or stop.
  • Requirements mapped with your compliance function and counsel across Canada, the EU and the US.

Fractional Chief AI Officer

Put an executive in charge of the AI agenda, before a permanent appointment or alongside your team.

  • Executive accountability for the AI agenda, with business, risk, audit and compliance stakeholders involved.
  • Delivery through your existing teams and vendors, with results measured in business terms.

Formats. Advisory work as a board or executive session, a defined engagement or ongoing counsel. Fractional Chief AI Officer on set days each week.

Envyze also advises AI, data and energy-technology companies selling to regulated buyers on positioning, pricing and partner programmes, and on the questions a buyer’s risk, audit and security teams ask.

Approach

Practical and risk based.

We add controls where an AI use calls for them, within your risk appetite.

  • AI-accelerated delivery

    I build software and automations with my own AI agents, under the controls I advise on. Reports, prototypes, go-to-market research and analysis that used to take weeks now take me hours. Agents check one another’s work, and I keep a record of what was done.

Envyze provides advisory services and does not issue audit opinions, certifications or conformity assessments. Conclusions on compliance and control rest with your own risk, compliance and audit professionals.
