via Business Wire

Iyer brings 30+ years of experience with Fortune 100 companies to help Singulr lead customers through the AI transformation.

Singulr AI, a rising leader in AI security and governance, today announced the appointment of Bask Iyer as Strategic Advisor. As enterprises enter the most consequential technology transition since cloud and mobile, AI adoption is outpacing traditional governance models. This appointment further positions Singulr AI to provide the infrastructure needed to manage AI’s speed, complexity, and regulatory needs.

“Bask has lived and led through some of the largest and most complex enterprise transformations of the past two decades,” said Shiv Agarwal, Co-Founder and CEO of Singulr AI. “As agentic AI rapidly moves from experiment to everyday reality, his experience and clear-eyed view on balancing innovation with trust are exactly what enterprises need right now. We’re thrilled to have him advising our team and our customers.”

Iyer’s appointment strengthens Singulr AI’s mission to empower CIOs and executive leadership as innovation partners, to accelerate responsible AI adoption while maintaining visibility, control, and compliance. “We know that there is no point in closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. Now is the time for IT professionals to implement and enable agentic AI in enterprises,” Iyer said. “Agents are being created for every function with or without the CIO’s approval. It is non-negotiable to have a governance platform like Singulr AI now, before the problem becomes unmanageable.”

Having led organizations through cloud, SaaS, and mobile transitions, Iyer brings a unique pattern recognition for how unchecked experimentation can lead to enterprise-wide sprawl. His advisory role will help Singulr AI customers put guardrails in place early, before AI adoption becomes unmanageable.

Iyer has served as CIO and Chief Digital Transformation Officer for both VMware and Dell Technologies, where he led IT and digital strategy through the Dell-EMC merger and VMware’s cloud transformation. Prior leadership roles include CIO positions at Juniper Networks, Honeywell, and GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. He currently serves on multiple boards and advises several high-growth AI and fintech companies.

On Thursday, December 11, at 12 PM EST, Iyer will join Singulr AI executives for a live webinar titled “The CIO’s AI Playbook: Driving Innovation, Governance, and ROI" to discuss practical strategies for building trust and control as autonomous AI agents proliferate across enterprise environments. The session will highlight the importance of platforms like Singulr Pulse to get real-time intelligence and governance needed to manage AI-driven data flows, emerging regulatory scrutiny, and an enterprise-wide agent ecosystem. Iyer will be joined by Lonnie Johnson, CIO at KVC Health Systems, who will offer an additional executive perspective on how healthcare leaders are aligning AI innovation with governance, compliance, and operational resilience.
