DotConnectAfrica, Represented by CBSegroup, Showcases AI Leadership at GRC Conference2025 in New York

New York, NY – August 18–21, 2025 – DotConnectAfrica, represented by its CEO Sophia Bekele of CBSegroup, was a featured speaker at the prestigious GRC Conference2025, held in New York City. The event convened global leaders in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) for cutting-edge discussions and high-value networking.

The conference, known for its high-level insights and first-class organization, provided an exceptional forum for knowledge exchange. DotConnectAfrica was honored to contribute with a pivotal session designed for C-Suite executives titled “AI-Driven Decision-Making for Competitive Advantage.”

The session delivered a powerful call to action for organizational leadership, emphasizing the imperative to “Lead the AI Revolution—Not Just Survive It.” The presentation moved beyond theory and supplied attendees with a practical, actionable blueprint for implementing artificial intelligence.

A key focus was the introduction of the “AI Control Tower” concept — a strategic framework for governing AI risk, elevating organizational AIQ (AI literacy), and ensuring crucial human oversight. The session provided clear guidance on:

• Leveraging predictive analytics to forecast threats proactively.
• Automating threat detection and response to operate at machine speed.
• Generating strategic insights to identify both risks and opportunities ahead of the competition.
• Utilizing DotConnectAfrica’s proprietary AI Risk Maturity Score to benchmark organizational readiness and integration capabilities.

“The key takeaway is that AI serves as the most powerful force multiplier available today,” said Sophia Bekele. “It transforms risk management from a defensive cost center into a strategic engine for growth and competitive advantage.“

DotConnectAfrica extends its gratitude to the conference organizers and the deeply engaged audience members whose participation made the session a success.
