Board Advisory
Board Advisor for AI & Cyber Risk
Directors are now asked to govern AI they did not commission and cyber risk they cannot see. A board advisor closes that gap. Mark Lynd briefs boards and audit committees, serves selectively on advisory boards, and teaches directors the questions that actually surface risk, drawing on five C-suite tours and 200+ executive exercises and workshops.

Quick Answer
Directors are now asked to govern AI they did not commission and cyber risk they cannot see.
Keynote Topics
Advisory Board Seats
Ongoing counsel for organizations where AI and cybersecurity intersect with strategy. Selective, conflict-checked, and structured around quarterly cadence.
Audit-Committee & Board Briefings
Sixty to ninety minutes, tailored to your environment. What is real, what is hype, what the committee should ask management next quarter.
Director Education
Board-level sessions on AI governance, incident oversight, and cyber insurance, built from the 72-Hour IR Executive Playbook and real tabletop patterns.
I don't give speeches. I bring the view from the frontlines, what I'm actually seeing this quarter running enterprise AI and cybersecurity programs and advising boards, so your audience leaves with something real.
Mark Lynd, 5x CEO/CIO/CISO, Head of Executive Advisory & Strategy at Netsync
Why Boards Bring In Mark
He has sat in every relevant seat. 5x CEO, CIO, and CISO. He knows what management can answer, what they are guessing at, and how to tell the difference.
Both risks, one advisor. AI and cyber risk are converging on the same agenda item. Mark is ranked at the top of both fields, which is rare among board advisors.
Evidence over theater. Original research from 150+ tabletop exercises, including that 93% of organizations could not confirm authority to take systems offline during an incident.

Shira Rubinoff
CEO, The Cybersphere Group
Mark delivers more than a presentation, he delivers operational insight from the front lines. Instead of theory, he shares what is actually working in real environments. Our audience of CISOs and security leaders left with practical strategies they could begin implementing immediately.
