Background

About Michael Tippett

I am a risk and controls leader with 13+ years of experience spanning internal audit, SOX compliance, enterprise risk, regulatory testing, and AI governance. My career has been built advising Fortune 500 companies and high-growth businesses on how to strengthen resilience, scale responsibly, and turn risk into opportunity, leveraging experiences gained at EY and Freddie Mac. With a foundation in internal controls and audit, I bring a disciplined, risk-informed perspective to complex business transformations, from M&A and IPO readiness to AI adoption at scale. I’ve led initiatives that align emerging technologies with governance and regulatory expectations and embed risk management into day to day operations. Executives trust me to connect strategy with execution: assessing risk, building control frameworks, and driving organizational change that unlocks efficiency, compliance, and innovation. My expertise sits at the intersection of risk management, technology, and transformation, making me a partner of choice for organizations navigating disruption. Member of AICPA, ISACA & IAPP.
