Strategic Advisor – AUSOVRN™ Assurance
CAN.B Group is proud to formally welcome Dr Sue Keay as Strategic Advisor – AUSOVRN™ Assurance.
Dr Keay is a widely respected leader in artificial intelligence, robotics, and emerging technology, with deep experience across industry, research, and national-level strategy. She is recognised for her work at the intersection of advanced capability, assurance, and responsible deployment in complex, high-impact environments.
In her capacity as Strategic Advisor – AUSOVRN™ Assurance, Dr Keay will provide independent strategic guidance across assurance, governance, and participation. She will help ensure AUSOVRN™ is built with clear boundaries, appropriate controls, and the checks and balances required of national-scale capability as it matures and scales.
This appointment reflects CAN.B Group’s view that assurance must be established early when building enduring institutions, not retrofitted once momentum and complexity take hold. Embedding these disciplines from the outset is critical to supporting clients delivering outcomes in the national interest.
Speaking on AUSOVRN™, Dr Keay said:
“As governments and industry move more rapidly into AI and emerging technologies, the need for clear boundaries, assurance, and informed restraint becomes critical. AUSOVRN™ has been designed with this reality in mind, and I’m pleased to support its continued development.”
Once again, a warm welcome to Dr Keay.
AUSOVRN™ is Australia’s sovereign capability delivery ecosystem.
Designed for the Mission. Built for the Nation.
