Phillip leads the engineering organization at Exclaimer, where he's responsible for building and scaling the email signature management platform. With more than two decades in software engineering and technology leadership, he focuses on creating high-performing teams, improving engineering practices, and delivering reliable products at scale. In this session, he brings the IT and engineering view of what tends to break when organizations grow without the right structure in place, and what good controls look like as AI changes the threat surface.

Compliance has shifted out of the inbox. Business communication now runs across Slack, Teams, video calls, WhatsApp, and AI-generated content sent under the company's name, and regulatory expectations follow it everywhere. When something goes wrong, the call still tends to land on IT's desk. The real work is keeping communication consistent, evidenced, and on-brand as channels multiply and AI scales the output.
In this on-demand session, three Exclaimer leaders walk through what's actually changed in the last few years, where fragmentation creates real risk, and what IT teams can do to lead rather than firefight.
The session is built for IT, legal, and operations leaders who already feel the problem but haven't had a chance to put a name to it. It introduces two practical frameworks: the Communication Maturity Model (five levels, from fragmented to strategic) and the Four Pillars of Designed Communication (consistency, clarity, compliance, confidence). Both give you a way to diagnose where your organization sits today and where to focus next.
It also covers what AI changes for governance: agent-to-agent communication, disclosure obligations when AI produces the message, and what to look for in suppliers as AI makes it easy to deploy tooling without the security or legal infrastructure behind it.
Key takeaways
Why compliance sits across email, video, chat, and AI output, and why IT is the function that owns the response when something breaks
How the Communication Maturity Model maps your organization from fragmented to strategic, and what each level looks like in practice
What "good" looks like across the Four Pillars of Designed Communication: consistency, clarity, compliance, and confidence
Where evidencing trips most teams up: written policies aren't enough on their own, and regulators want to see how they're applied across channels
What the EU AI Act, state-level US legislation, and GDPR mean for AI-generated communication, including disclosure obligations when there's no human in the loop
How shared accountability across IT, legal, marketing, and compliance should be structured so policies hold up in practice, not just on paper
What to look for in suppliers as AI lowers the cost of tooling: security maturity, legal governance, and data residency, not just functionality
How to make the commercial case for communications governance at board level, beyond fines and into reputational and brand trust impact
