Oximy Advisory Council

We’re excited to announce that Mark Sunday, Greg Morrison, Patti Degnan and Adam Messinger, former technology leaders from Oracle, Cox Enterprises, Notion and Twitter, are joining our Advisory Council.

The council will advise us on product direction and enterprise AI adoption, helping us address how organizations govern AI, protect sensitive information and evaluate their AI investments.

The four advisors

Our advisors are:

  • Mark Sunday, former CIO and senior vice president of Oracle. His responsibilities included global communications, computing and security infrastructure supporting Oracle’s internal operations and customer services. Before Oracle, he also served as CIO of Siebel, bringing experience leading enterprise technology across both organizations.
  • Greg Morrison, former senior vice president and Corporate CIO of Cox Enterprises. He spent 18 years overseeing technology strategy, IT systems and cybersecurity. His tenure ran from February 2002 until his retirement in January 2020. His responsibilities also included corporate strategic planning, IT policy development and the management of systems supporting the business.
  • Patti Degnan, CISO of Glow and former CISO of Notion, where she founded the security organization. She previously served as an operating partner at Andreessen Horowitz. At Glow, her responsibilities include building the security, IT, compliance, privacy and customer trust organizations.
  • Adam Messinger, former CTO of Twitter, where he oversaw engineering, product and design. Previously, he served as vice president of development at Oracle and led its Java and Exalogic teams.

What our advisors and CEO said

Mark Sunday said his experience as Oracle’s CIO showed how difficult it can be to understand technology use across a large organization, assess whether it delivers value and govern it effectively. He described our focus as relevant to CIOs. He added that, if he were in the CIO seat today, he would want to take a close look at our approach.

“CIOs are being asked to explain their AI investments to CEOs and boards, and that responsibility is difficult to delegate,” said Greg Morrison, a member of our Advisory Council. He also said he was pleased to work with our team as an advisor on an issue facing enterprise technology leaders.

Naman Ambavi, our founder and CEO, said enterprise leaders must decide which AI tools, workflows and agents to approve, where to invest and when to intervene. He said the advisors’ experience leading technology and security in large organizations would help us focus on our customers’ priorities: making AI useful, protecting the business and understanding its value.
