As an international keynote speaker for the Global Skill Development Council (GSDC), Terry guides and inspires professionals in building AI management systems. Drawing on his extensive leadership experience, dual master’s degrees, Lean Black Belt certification, and expertise as an ISO/IEC 42001 expert, he makes AI accessible. He provides leaders and professionals with tools to cut through complexity, address emerging risks, and establish AI governance.

When guiding AI governance and risk management, anticipating resistance is essential, such as the common sentiment that AI is too complex. Managers and professionals often feel overwhelmed by the “black box” nature of AI, leading to hesitation and the postponement of necessary steps. Overcoming this reluctance does not start with more technology, but with clear leadership. By clarifying AI and embedding it in structured governance frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001, organizations gain the compass and confidence to take the lead in responsible AI innovation.
