Sanjay Saxena

Chief AI Officer (Fractional), CISSP, Ex-Deloitte, KPMG, Harvard

Sanjay has spent 25 years in the room where AI projects get approved or killed. At Deloitte, KPMG, CVS Health, and Kaiser Permanente, he witnessed brilliant ideas die because teams couldn't speak the language of legal and compliance. That's why he created this course.

As Founder of Elevate AI, he helps businesses scale AI responsibly. He holds CISSP and PMP certifications, he did Executive MBA from Harvard Business School, and earned his engineering degree in India. His 25+ years span AI implementation, security, and enterprise architecture across highly regulated environments.

Sanjay breaks down complex concepts into frameworks students use immediately. He also hosts technology radio shows, believing that if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.
