Vivegavalen Vadi Valu
Governance translated into operating control.
Vivegavalen is an AI governance practitioner with fifteen years across technology law, privacy, data governance and AI risk management in Asia-Pacific. He specialises in moving AI governance beyond principles and policy into operational control across live systems, including generative and agentic AI.
His work spans the AI governance delivery chain: board mandate and policy architecture, risk and impact assessment, model and system evaluation, guardrail design, human oversight, and governance of systems in production.
Most recently he was Associate Director at Deloitte Australia, where he led AI governance engagements for clients including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Optus, and the justice departments of South Australia and Western Australia. Earlier roles at Accenture, Nestlé and PwC spanned legal, advisory and regulated environments across the region.
He is the founder of Trustethica, a Singapore platform for purpose-anchored governance of enterprise AI. In July 2026 he made a submission to the public consultation on Malaysia’s proposed AI Governance Bill.
