Background

About Shenoy S.

Hi, I’m Shenoy — a second-generation UAE expat, GTM strategist by profession, AI and cybersecurity expert by obsession, and humble enough to admit that crypto funded a few well-timed upgrades. With 20+ years in the trenches, I’ve helped 25+ AI and cybersecurity startups break into the Middle East and African markets. From building revenue engines for early-stage players to scaling global vendors with enterprise deals, channel ecosystems, and field execution — I thrive where strategy meets action. I founded Reconn to be more than a business — it’s a market access and GTM partner for AI and cybersecurity vendors serious about MEA. Through our Growth Intelligence Framework, we validate, localize, and accelerate go-to-market plans long before distributors and resellers get involved. Beyond GTM, I review ML algorithms and data science projects, assist organizations aligning AI initiatives with security, compliance, and business value. I advise enterprises on AI governance (ISO 42001), offensive AI security, automation with AI agents, and risk-based implementations that integrate cybersecurity with AI ethics and safety standards. I also deliver globally recognized AI and cybersecurity certifications in partnership with PECB — including ISO 42001 (AI Management), ISO 27001, and PECB Certified Artificial Intelligence Professional (CAIP). These programs equip professionals and enterprises to master AI security, compliance, and hands-on governance. Before Reconn, I scaled CYBLE’s META business from zero to market dominance, blending lean field execution with deep partner networks. Today, I sit at the intersection of AI, offensive security, data-driven GTM strategy, and governance — empowering both vendors and enterprises to navigate the AI-driven cybersecurity landscape. If you’re expanding into MEA, need AI security or governance expertise, or want to upskill in AI and cybersecurity through PECB certifications, let’s talk. P.S. Still game for Tekken, charting crypto moves, or dismantling AI hype over coffee.
