Initiatives

Six threads of work. One arc.

Standards contribution, the Institute, government excellence assessment, Field Notes, professional community, and executive education.

Shaping the next generation of AI standards

As a U.S. delegate to ISO/IEC SC 42, contributes to the international standards defining how AI will be governed worldwide. Work spans ISO/IEC 42001, 23894, 42005, and 42006 — the standard, its risk companion, its impact assessment, and the rules for the certification bodies themselves.

The 42001 Institute

An independent advisory practice dedicated to making ISO/IEC 42001 implementable — helping governments, boards, and enterprises move from AI ambition to audited, defensible practice. Spans certification readiness, internal audit programs, and executive training.

Government excellence assessment

Serves as a Business Excellence Assessor evaluating GCC government entities on innovation and AI maturity. Under confidentiality, this ground-level view across numerous assessments directly informs the Institute’s advisory practice.

Field Notes

A numbered series documenting ISO/IEC 42001 from the front lines — what audits reveal, where implementations stall, and how the standard is being interpreted by regulators and certification bodies as adoption accelerates.

Professional community building

As Chair of the IAPP UAE Chapter, leads the region’s professional community for privacy and AI governance. Co-authored the AI Risk Management chapter of the IAPP’s official AIGP textbook, contributing to the curriculum that trains the profession itself.

Executive education

Developing structured training programs on ISO/IEC 42001 and AI governance for professionals and organizations — extending the Institute’s advisory practice into scalable education, in collaboration with established training providers.
