Board & Committee Chairmanship
Fiduciary-level technology oversight, in the boardroom, owned by someone accountable for it.
AI has moved from a management topic to a fiduciary one. Boards are asked to attest to algorithmic risk, data governance, and IP exposure with the same rigor as financial controls — and most technology briefings are written by the people the board is supposed to be overseeing.
Manuel serves boards and committees as an independent technology voice: a National Association of Corporate Directors member, a qualified Patent Agent, and an operator who has carried $400 million in commercial credit authority and examined 221 patents at the USPTO. Technology gets argued in the board's language: risk, capital, and liability.
What the seat covers
- Technology or AI committee leadership and membership, with fiduciary-grade reporting
- AI readiness and governance: model risk, data provenance, and regulatory exposure across jurisdictions
- IP portfolio oversight: what your patents actually protect, and where litigation risk concentrates
- Independent review of management's technology narrative before it reaches the full board
- Audit-committee support on technology-driven financial and disclosure risk
Best for publicly traded corporations and institutional private equity portfolios. Structured as an annual retainer, with equity participation where appropriate; scope and fees are set with the board after an initial consultation.
