Sajed Khan
A technology executive, inventor, and author who turns complex technology and security decisions into ones leaders can stand behind.
Across healthcare, government, manufacturing, financial services, media, nonprofit work, artificial intelligence, cloud, and cybersecurity, the through-line of his career has been the same. Technology should reduce confusion, not add to it. He sits at the intersection of the technical and the operational, translating risk, architecture, and ambition into decisions a board, a regulator, or a patient can rely on.
The work
His leadership has spanned the CTO, CIO, and COO seats, which taught him that technology is never just technology. It touches operations, budgets, vendors, compliance, customer experience, and trust. That cross-functional view shapes how he approaches every problem, from a cybersecurity program to an AI deployment to a board conversation.
The writing
He is the author of Sarah and the Malware Fairy, a children's cybersecurity book that teaches online safety through story rather than fear, and CyberSecurity Metaverse, a look at trust, identity, and risk in emerging digital environments. He is also a co-inventor on a healthcare AI patent. His articles are collected on the articles page.
Recognition
His work has been recognized as a Computerworld Premier 100 Technology Leader, a CIO 100 Honoree, and a DallasCISO ORBIE finalist, with sources on the awards page. He holds a practical stack of certifications including CISSP, CISM, CRISC, PMP, CEH, and Azure Solutions Architect Expert, listed on the certifications page.
Beyond the boardroom
Outside of technology, he supports the Blanquita Foundation's work on clean water and women's empowerment, and shares a lighter side of life, cooking and travel, as @cookwithsaj. For advisory, speaking, board, or media inquiries, the contact page is the place to start.
