In this powerful episode of the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ, I sit down with one of the world’s most forward-thinking cybersecurity and AI governance leaders — Maman Ibrahim (@mamane).
From his early days shaping digital transformation at Michelin and GSK to founding Ginkgo Resilience, Maman has dedicated his life’s work to helping global leaders govern with clarity, courage, and control.
“Cyber governance should be a source of strategic clarity — not bureaucratic burden.” — Maman Ibrahim
Together, we explore:
✨ How to turn cybersecurity from a compliance exercise into a catalyst for trust and innovation
✨ The intersection of AI governance, ethics, and leadership in a post-ChatGPT world
✨ How to build resilient teams and cultures that thrive through disruption
✨ Lessons from Maman’s journey — from engineering and audit to the global boardroom
If you’re a Naval Junior Officer, CISO, or tech leader seeking to lead through disruption, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger about resilience, ethics, and the future of intelligent leadership.
