Board-ready AI governance advisory built on evidence, structured for the C-suite, and designed to move at the speed your organization needs.
We chose the name Pequi [pa-KEE] after a prized Brazilian fruit that serves as the perfect metaphor for enterprise AI. The pequi is highly valued for its yield, but it contains a core of hidden, needle-like thorns — extracting its reward safely requires a guided, precise approach.
AI presents the exact same dynamic. The operational advantages are undeniable, but the underlying complexities — undocumented shadow IT, accelerating regulatory timelines, and vulnerable consumer data — create massive exposure if handled blindly.
Pequi Intelligence provides the governance shield: structured frameworks that allow organizations to safely capture the immense value of AI while neutralizing the hidden risks.
AI adoption is outpacing governance by years. Organizations are moving too fast to ignore AI, but lack the dedicated cross-domain expertise — legal, technical, regulatory — to govern it properly. With regulatory deadlines converging in 2026, silence on AI risk is no longer a minor gap. It is a material risk to operations, regulatory standing, and enterprise value. Pequi Intelligence was founded to close this structural gap with evidence-based, advisor-led governance infrastructure.
We replace ad-hoc compliance attempts with the proprietary AI Governance Velocity Index (AGVI) — a scored framework across nine governance domains that gives leadership a quantifiable, defensible posture. Every score is earned through verifiable evidence. Every risk has a named owner and deadline. Every deliverable is written for the C-suite, not the IT department. We are advisors, not implementers.
Jordon serves as the firm’s principal authority on AI governance methodology and the architect of the proprietary AI Governance Velocity Index (AGVI). With 11+ years in enterprise security and compliance — including ServiceNow GRC implementations across risk, compliance, and third-party risk management; NIST CSF and SP 800-53 risk framework execution; and security operations supporting the Secretary of Defense — he brings deep cross-domain expertise in translating complex regulatory and technical requirements into structured, executive-ready governance programs.
Jordon maintains direct accountability for engagement quality and the firm’s regulatory credibility, serving as the primary client-facing governance advisor for all executive briefings. He owns the AGVI scoring framework across all nine governance domains, ensuring evidence-based rigor and strict alignment with the EU AI Act, the Colorado AI Act, SEC examination priorities, NIST AI RMF 1.0, ISO/IEC 42001, and emerging frameworks for agentic AI including Singapore IMDA and NIST AI 600-1.
All AGVI assessments are conducted independently and reflect objective governance positioning. Our Strategic Alliance Network — partnerships with select AI vendors to help organizations implement governance solutions — operates separately from our advisory practice. We maintain strict firewalls to ensure that our assessments are unbiased and focused solely on your governance maturity and regulatory readiness.
