The Compliance Lawyer Who Built an AI That Does Risk Assessments in Minutes (Not Days)

In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall interviews Samuel Solberg, Co-founder & CEO of Hoggo, who reveals how his AI platform is transforming the tedious world of vendor compliance from a business blocker into a competitive advantage. Solberg shares the "holy smokes" moment when a seasoned lawyer's face lit up seeing Hoggo instantly generate detailed risk profiles that would typically require days of manual document collection, contract reviews, and back-and-forth vendor emails. The conversation takes an interesting turn when Solberg explains how Hoggo scrapes public data from nearly 1,000 vendors to automatically flag risks like third-party processors in specific countries, complete with mitigation steps and transfer mechanism alerts. Tech companies at platforms like HR services and fintech firms have started relying on Hoggo's automated assessments to streamline their compliance workflows, freeing legal teams to focus on strategic work rather than repetitive questionnaire chasing. Solberg makes a thought-provoking prediction that while AI will eliminate manual work, it creates a training gap for junior professionals who traditionally learn through those same repetitive tasks. For listeners curious to experience this technology firsthand, Hoggo offers a seven-day free trial at hoggo.io, with both self-serve options for introverts and demo calls for those who prefer human interaction.
