Rehan Kausar
Founder & Chief AI Officer · Creator of ZERO™
Rehan has spent 25 years leading technology, data and AI in regulated financial services, from Chief Technology Officer roles at Citi to the first Chief AI Officer at Hudson Valley Credit Union, reporting to the CEO. His work has taken AI programmes into production at Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and MetLife without regulatory findings.
He founded AI Advantages to give banks and credit unions what he built from the inside: an operating model that gets AI, and now AI agents, approved and into production with the evidence an examiner expects. ZERO™ is that model.
He writes on agentic AI accountability for NYU Law's Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement and CDO Magazine, and publishes The Zero Findings Brief to about 20,000 industry readers.
