Eleftherios Chaniotakis has spent more than 20 years helping large enterprises adopt technology in complex, high-stakes environments. He has held roles at IBM, Oracle, Fortinet and now Amazon Web Services (AWS). He has worked closely with highly regulated organizations in financial services, the public sector and telecommunications, where trust, compliance and resilience come first. For over a decade he has specialized in IT security and governance services. This includes delivering programs within large professional services organizations, so he has seen firsthand what it takes to turn policy into practice at scale. At AWS, Eleftherios works with leading financial institutions in Greece on their cloud and AI transformation. He helps them balance innovation with regulatory requirements, data residency and risk management. His view on AI governance comes from real deployments: good governance doesn't slow transformation down. It lets organizations scale with confidence, accountability and lasting business value.
