In-Person Executive Breakfast
AI is only as safe as your Microsoft 365 Governance
What AI is already exposing inside Microsoft 365
AI is already exposing risks inside Microsoft 365 environments that many organisations didn’t realise existed — from oversharing and permission sprawl to hidden compliance exposure, uncontrolled access, and rising storage and licensing costs. For IT leaders, these are no longer operational issues; they’re becoming matters of visibility, accountability, and executive risk.
Join a select group of senior IT leaders from regulated UK enterprises for a private executive breakfast, interactive panel discussion, and customer spotlight featuring:
- Andrei Negrut – Global Head of AI & Productivity at NXP Semiconductors
- Andy Bradley – Client Advisory Director at Telefónica Tech UK&I
- Shafi Kamarudeen – Chief Information Security Officer at LIMOSS
- Michael Davidson – Business Apps & Solutions Manager at Nest Corporation
- Damon Witherick – Director of Infrastructure & Operations at Redgate Software
Together, we’ll discuss:
- What AI is actually exposing in enterprise Microsoft 365 environments today.
- Where the biggest security, compliance, and cost risks are emerging.
- How organisations are regaining visibility and control before scaling AI further.
Held under Chatham House Rules, this closed-door discussion is designed exclusively for senior IT decision makers to share candid insight, practical experiences, and peer perspectives on preparing Microsoft 365 for secure, confident AI adoption.

Danijel reframes AI readiness around governance, highlighting the need to enable stronger control to secure adoption and assess exposure.
