AI Governance and Financial Risk Mitigation for a Global ERP Initiative
Led a cross-functional team to develop a comprehensive AI governance framework and financial risk management plan for Emerald Hotels & Resorts’ international Oracle ERP deployment.
Identified and quantified risks to operational continuity, data privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA), AI bias liabilities, and cybersecurity — all with potential direct financial impact on revenue and brand equity.
Developed a framework rooted in financial prudence and regulatory alignment, embedding FASTEPS and AI RMF 1.0 principles to minimize legal, operational, and reputational risks.
