The person
behind the work
Kate Marshall is a fractional CAIO who helps organizations adopt AI with strong governance, workforce readiness, and practical support. She spent 18 years at the SANS Institute , leading Summits creating rapid-response training for emerging cybersecurity threats, curriculum marketing strategy, and courseware development. Kate launched SANS' first AI Task Force and the first AI Hackathon to help the organization move from experimentation to operational value. That background shaped how she works today: people, training, and governance first, not tools.
Today, she partners with HR leaders, executives, and non-technical teams to translate AI into everyday workflows, policies, and training that people actually use. Kate is the Founder of TheGrai, supporting leaders and teams with custom training and workshops, and a SHRM Instructor teaching their AI+HI program.
Risk, governance, privacy, and what actually breaks in real organizations.
Workforce readiness, policy reality, adoption friction, and change management.
What is real, what is hype, what is safe, and what is useful right now.
Executives, HR, marketing, and sales, aligned around shared AI practices.
Kate was absolutely fabulous. Walking into this program I had very little knowledge on AI. Walking out of this program I feel empowered to share what I have learned with my work team and am excited for our AI adventures ahead.
Kate's 1:1s walking through my workflows using AI saved me hours and made leading easier. I can attribute an ROI of at least $4 million in the last year to reducing hiring needs, transforming to an AI-first team and creating efficiencies, all thanks to my work with Kate.
