For Executives
AI governance and cyber risk advisory from someone who's built it, not just studied it.
Advisory engagements for executive teams navigating AI adoption, cyber risk, and compliance, informed by more than two decades building technology companies, with the last decade-plus focused on cybersecurity, privacy, and governance.
Most AI governance advice comes from consultants who've never had to make a build-vs-risk tradeoff with their own company on the line. Darren founded and led Carbide Secure and, before that, Marcato Digital Solutions, meaning the frameworks he brings to an advisory engagement have already been tested against real incidents, real audits, and real board scrutiny.
Typical engagements cover AI governance program design, cyber risk posture reviews ahead of a board or investor conversation, and compliance strategy (NACD, ISC2, and IAPP-aligned) for teams that need to move fast without losing control of their risk picture.
Darren's perspective on AI governance isn't theoretical. He is actively leading the adoption of agentic AI and AI-assisted development within his own organization, navigating the same questions of velocity, security, privacy, accountability and governance facing other executive teams.
