Independent Corporate Director
For more than 25 years, Ray Guzman has built, scaled, and exited companies and governed in the boardrooms of financial institutions, universities, and healthcare. He brings that operating record, with AI governance as one sharp credential, to the boards he serves.
Ray Guzman builds and governs businesses. Over a 25-year career he has taken companies from concept to exit, held executive roles inside one of the most complex enterprises ever built, and sat in the boardrooms of financial institutions, universities, and healthcare companies. That combination of founder's urgency and director's discipline is what makes him effective: he understands what management is actually dealing with, not just what the financials say.
