About me

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

ThreadSync is a separate company I founded. Cichocki Advisory engagements are implementation-neutral; no ThreadSync purchase is required, and recommendations may focus on existing logs, workflows, cloud architecture, or GRC processes. Product-specific materials live on threadsync.io.

My 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 mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act (directional alignment, not certification). I bring an engineering operator's perspective to advisory work. Cichocki Advisory engagements remain implementation-neutral — ThreadSync is a separate company I founded; it is not a requirement.
