World AI X Ventures is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with PECB (Professional Evaluation and Certification Board) to elevate the global Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Program by embedding executive-ready training in AI governance, ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Management System), information security, and risk management.
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, executive leaders are increasingly accountable not just for innovation—but for governance, compliance, security, and defensible decision-making. This partnership directly addresses that gap.
The World AI X CAIO Program is designed as a hands-on executive accelerator, where leaders move beyond theory to develop implementation-ready AI use cases, governance playbooks, and operating models they can deploy inside real organizations. Through this collaboration, PECB adds a critical layer of internationally recognized standards, controls, and audit readiness to the CAIO experience.
What This Partnership Delivers
Through the World AI X × PECB partnership, CAIO participants gain access to:
ISO/IEC 42001 training, covering AI Management System fundamentals, governance structures, and implementation readiness
AI-focused information security and risk management concepts, tailored for executive decision-makers
Practical modules on AI policy, controls, assurance, and compliance alignment, designed for real-world scaling
Optional advanced learning pathways through PECB’s broader portfolio in cybersecurity, digital trust, and transformation
This integration ensures that CAIO graduates are not only capable of building high-impact AI initiatives—but are also prepared to govern, secure, and defend them at board, regulator, and enterprise levels.
Executive Leadership Perspective
Commenting on the partnership, Sam Obeidat, President of World AI X Ventures, said:
“The Chief AI Officer role is evolving fast. Today’s AI leaders must deliver innovation and accountability. CAIO is not a theoretical course—it’s a leadership experience where executives build real use cases and learn how to lead AI transformation. Partnering with PECB strengthens that experience by adding a rigorous governance and security layer—especially ISO/IEC 42001—so leaders leave ready to scale AI safely, defend decisions, and operate with confidence.”
Tim Rama, CEO of PECB, added:
“Executives are moving fast on AI, but many organizations still lack a clear management system, governance framework, and controls. This partnership with World AI X Ventures brings structure and credibility to leadership teams through practical training that supports responsible and secure AI adoption.”
Setting a New Standard for AI Leadership
Together, World AI X Ventures and PECB are setting a new global benchmark for executive AI education: one that treats AI governance, risk, and security as core leadership competencies, not afterthoughts.
This partnership reinforces World AI X’s mission to build AI-ready leaders who can responsibly scale AI across sectors, from government and enterprise to finance, defense, education, and emerging markets.
