Ashish Rajan 🤴🏾🧔🏾♂️ — CEO
Hi! 👋🏾 I am Ashish🤴🏾 - with 15+ years helping enterprise technology leaders separate AI & CyberSecurity hype from reality driving measurable impact, reducing risk, and building secure, future-ready organizations. Over the past decade in AI & Cybersecurity, I’ve seen organizations navigate risk, resilience, and transformation from cloud modernization to security automation. My focus now is on the next evolution: building resilient enterprise-grade AI systems in Cloud that can be trusted at scale while balancing innovation, security, and reliability. I bring a CISO-informed perspective to help technology and security leaders connect AI innovation with enterprise strategy, building AI ecosystems that are resilient, well-governed, and aligned with business risk. 💡 My current focus areas include: • Frameworks for trust, reliability, and measurable resilience in AI systems • Designing resilient AI and cloud ecosystems for enterprise scale • Governance models for responsible AI adoption • Convergence of platform & cloud engineering, AppSec for AI Workloads Through my platforms and advisory work, I design and lead conversations that bring together: 👉🏾 Tech leaders and teams driving transformation across AI, cloud, and security 👉🏾 CISOs and security leaders & executives 👉🏾 Boards exploring strategic and ethical dimensions of AI adoption 🎙️ I host two industry-leading podcasts followed by one of the largest global communities of tech and security leaders and builders: 👉🏾 Cloud Security Podcast 👉🏾 AI Security Podcast We explore real-world solutions, war stories, and secure transformation across hybrid, multi-cloud, and AI-native environments. 🔐 What I do: 1️⃣ Lead a private CISO advisory board with Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 members 2️⃣ Deliver keynotes and executive sessions on secure AI, cloud, and governance 3️⃣ Guide leadership teams on AI adoption, strategy, and risk - including vendor selection, maturity assessment, and capability readiness. 4️⃣ Host Tech Leader workshops on running and securing AI applications (for Leaders & Builders) 📢 Brand & Collaboration: I partner with leading AI, security, and cloud brands to create executive-focused content and experiences, from podcast recordings and report reviews to moderating panels, workshops, and webinars for CxOs and tech communities. 👉🏾 If you're leading, building, or securing AI systems at scale, I’d love to connect and explore how we can shape the next generation of trusted enterprise AI together.
