Dr. Robert Zergenyi, Founder

Robert Zergenyi founded Wisionar to help boards, audit committees, and management teams manage the risks that technology creates, and to use technology to make assurance more effective. He brings more than 25 years of experience in international risk management and internal audit.

Before founding Wisionar, he led audit across more than 120 legal entities and held senior roles at Zurich Insurance, including Head of Data Science in Internal Audit. He has built and led data science teams for a decade, led IT security, internet security, and banking application teams, and reviewed critical platforms in banking, telecommunications, and insurance.

Robert founded the AI user group for internal audit, which now includes more than 100 companies, and he leads the ERFA group on data science and AI in internal audit in Switzerland. He contributes to international work on new standards and has published for ECIIA, ISACA, and the IIA, including books on AI-augmented auditing, AI governance, and operational resilience.

He holds CISA, CIA, CFE, and ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor certification. He works pragmatically with organisations of every size and believes good governance has to work in daily operations, not only in board papers
