Eighteen years architecting enterprise risk programmes — operational, credit, fraud, third-party, business continuity, and AI risk — for organisations operating under RBI, IRDAI, the EU regulatory perimeter, and global standards bodies. You won't be handed off to a junior team.
Three pressures are landing on the same desks at the same time — and most existing advisory motions do not close them at the speed boards now expect.
EU AI Act high-risk obligations land 2 December 2027 (Digital Omnibus, approved by the European Parliament 16 June 2026), with transparency duties already binding from August 2026. RBI, IRDAI and DPDP scrutiny on AI-driven decisions is tightening monthly. Boards are being asked for documentary evidence, not slide decks.
The honest answer most CFOs and CROs give is some version of "we are working on it." That answer survives one quarter — not three. Committees want an operating model, not an intent.
Directors who cannot demonstrate informed oversight of AI decisions face increasing personal exposure. Senior counsel who can architect the evidence — not just describe it — is now a board-level need.
You have looked at the alternatives. None of them quite fits the moment.
You buy the partner's name. The work is delivered by a 2-year analyst with a methodology PDF, a junior engagement, twice-figures, partner shows up at the steering committee. The senior who sold the deck is rarely the senior who delivers it.
You hire a lawyer for the EU AI Act. They produce excellent advice on a single statute. You then need someone to translate it into a risk register, KRIs, board reporting and an audit-ready file. The boutique stops where the operating work begins.
Your CRO, GC and head of Internal Audit are already running BAU. None of them has eight clear weeks to architect an AIMS from scratch. They need a senior hand they can lean on for a defined window, not a permanent hire.
You will not be handed off. The senior on the deck is the senior delivering the work.
