About Jan

Jan Cichocki works at the intersection of enterprise AI strategy, governance, and engineering. His advisory practice — Cichocki Advisory — helps executives and boards establish decision rights, embed controls, ensure auditability, and operationalize AI safely across high-stakes environments.

Jan is also Founder of ThreadSync, the enterprise platform that operationalizes the governance work. ThreadSync ships two flagship products: LLM Gateway for governed multi-model AI access with audit trails and policy controls, and Magic Runtime for contract-driven, sandboxed execution of AI-generated business logic.

His career spans 20+ years across enterprise technology, financial systems, and platform architecture. Cichocki Advisory engagements are principal-led, NDA-first, and evidence-first, with frameworks that align with NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act. The wedge: Jan ships the code he recommends — advisory paired with the platform that operationalizes the work.
