The short answer
AI decisions and cyber risk now land on the same boardroom table, but most advisors only cover one side. Mark advises boards and leadership teams on both, together, because that is how the risk actually arrives.
Every engagement produces a number, a gap analysis, and named owners. If it cannot be measured next quarter, he does not say it.
Illustrative sample
Enterprise AI Trust Score
Q3 baseline
58/100
Every category below target gets a gap analysis, a named owner, and a projected re-score. This is what the readout looks like.
Five ways to engage
01
Board & Strategic Advisory
Direction-setting for boards, audit committees, and executive teams on AI governance and cross-domain risk. Boardroom briefings and pre-reads, AI governance orientation across NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act, risk-appetite calibration, and advisory board seats.
Best for boards and CEOs in regulated or AI-exposed environments. Quarterly retainer or fixed scope.
02
Executive AI & Cybersecurity Advisory
Working advisory for CEOs, CIOs, and CISOs making real decisions. Secure AI adoption paths, vendor and build-versus-buy evaluations, aligning security spend to the threats you actually face, and the frontline view from someone in daily conversations with enterprise leaders.
Best for leadership teams that want a scored second opinion before money moves. Monthly, metered, no seat in your org chart.
03
Readiness Reviews
Scored advisory reviews with a number, a gap analysis, and named owners. AI governance readiness aligned to NIST AI RMF, Texas Responsible AI Governance Act readiness, incident readiness built on the 72-Hour IR Executive Playbook, and cyber-insurance readiness. Mark is your preparation partner, not an auditor or registrar, so the review is candid and the findings are yours.
Best for leaders who want to see their exposure before a regulator, insurer, or acquirer does. Fixed scope, two to four weeks.
04
Founder & Go-to-Market Advisory
Buyer-side guidance for AI and cybersecurity founders selling into the enterprise. Positioning validated against how CISOs and CIOs actually buy, customer-trust narrative, category fit, and advisory-board design. Built from the buyer's chair, where Mark has sat five times.
Best for founders and CROs entering enterprise sales motions. Sprint or retainer.
05
Executive Education & Workshops
C-suite tabletop exercises, executive AI briefings, and board education sessions drawn from 200+ facilitated exercises and workshops. Practical capability for the people who own the decisions, not technical training.
Single session to multi-session programs. See also Speaking.
