AI Governance in 2026: Close the Readiness Gap w/ Schellman

Become the person your team turns to when an AI agent needs a risk review, clear controls, or a decision about whether it should go live.

Hi👋🏾, I'm François, founder of CyberProsAI and a Ph.D. scholar in Cyber Defense at Dakota State University. I teach governance, risk, audit, privacy, and cybersecurity professionals to turn AI governance principles into practical decisions they can explain and defend.

In my six-week live program, you will govern one realistic enterprise AI agent: assess risk, set boundaries, test controls, and design human oversight. You will leave with a reviewed portfolio of governance evidence you can build on at work. No coding required.

Start with a free lesson, join a live cohort, or bring me in to train your team.

As the leader of Schellman's ISO and AI Services, I’m fortunate to work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology, global compliance standards, and meaningful client impact. My focus is on driving excellence in information security and AI governance - helping organizations not just meet regulatory requirements, but also build trust in their systems and services.

Outside of work, I’m deeply passionate about health, fitness, and personal growth. I believe that discipline and resilience transcend industries - and that belief fuels my love for endurance sports. I’ve completed multiple ultramarathons, and I view each one as both a mental and physical challenge that reflects the same persistence I bring to my work.

I am a B2B growth marketing leader and the Director of Demand Generation at Schellman, specializing in architecting GTM engines and executing demand strategies that drive predictable revenue. With over a decade of experience across SaaS and professional services, I focus on building full-funnel strategies that untangle complex compliance objectives for global clients.

My approach to modern marketing is rooted in cross-functional alignment connecting marketing, sales, and technology to create persona-driven growth engines. At Schellman, I am focused on scaling our demand infrastructure during a period of significant organic growth, ensuring our marketing efforts are as rigorous and integrity-driven as the compliance services we provide.
