CEO at Efeeo (Former GitLab, Salesforce and Rackspace Cybersecurity Leader)
I've spent two decades threading the needle between "move fast and break things" engineering cultures and the regulatory mandates that govern financial services, insurance, and healthcare. I've sat in the rooms where deals die because the customer's compliance team couldn't get comfortable with the product's governance story, and I've built the programs that got those same deals across the finish line.
Why I Want to Teach This
In the last four years, I have seen a healthy share of AI product adoption failures, and the pattern is always the same: brilliant technology that never reaches enterprise readiness because governance, change management, and operational controls weren't treated as first-class concerns. Product leaders are often the missing link. They have the cross-functional influence but sometimes lack the vocabulary to bridge engineering and risk.
How Students Get Value
You're learning from someone who's been personally accountable for controls reviewed by military and defense companies, Big 4 auditors, and Fortune 500 security teams. I'll share the exact translation frameworks, objection handlers, and stakeholder alignment tactics that have worked in real regulated environments. You'll leave with artifacts you can use Monday morning.
