Shawn Tumanov | Head of AI Governance at Alight Solutions

Shawn Tumanov is Head of AI Governance at Alight Solutions. A strategic leader, Tumanov believes technology is only as powerful as the trust behind it. His approach is rooted in the idea of “Trust by design” — treating governance not as a hurdle, but as a competitive edge that builds client confidence and speeds up innovation. With over two decades in the field, Tumanov has built a reputation for being a pragmatic partner to the C-suite. He excels at building governance frameworks from scratch, a skill he put to work launching Data and AI programs for GEICO (Berkshire Hathaway) and BMO. Most recently, he collaborated with Meta’s Global Finance team to align their AI initiatives with financial integrity and reporting standards (ICFR/SOX).
