Cybersecurity, GRC & Technology Risk Leader | Co-Founder & CEO, ProfytAI
I lead complex security and technology programs where risk, regulation, and execution meet.
I'm Jeff Kangar. 13+ years across enterprise security, cloud, federal modernization, GRC, and technical program leadership, including LinkedIn, Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, Aetna, and Cigna. Today I lead ProfytAI, building regulatory intelligence infrastructure for regulated institutions.

What I do
Build
ActiveCompliance is broken by design. At ProfytAI, I lead the work to redesign it. We turn dense regulation into structured, source-anchored data and workflows that connect requirements to evidence, helping regulated institutions maintain a defensible view of their compliance posture instead of rebuilding the record before every exam.
ProfytAI is a regulatory intelligence company with structured regulatory data for BSP and MAS requirements and a live production engagement completed at a BSP-supervised digital bank. AI supports obligation mapping and evidence workflows, while human judgment remains at critical decision points.
Registered in Singapore and built for regulated financial institutions across Southeast Asia, starting with BSP and MAS, where frameworks are tightening faster than the infrastructure to meet them.
Strategic Advisory
I work with a select number of executive teams on high-stakes security, compliance, and technology-risk decisions. I help senior leaders navigate complex risk environments where the cost of getting it wrong is significant.
Develop People
Talent is everywhere. Access to the right rooms is not. I invest time in people building careers in cybersecurity and tech, particularly those who have had to work twice as hard for the same seat at the table.
What people say
"As Manager of LinkedIn's Information Security Program Office, I had the opportunity to hire Jeff to join our team and lead critical information security initiatives. One of his first assignments was to drive LinkedIn's Root CA rotation, a highly complex, company-wide security program that required coordination across hundreds of engineers, careful stakeholder management, and disciplined execution. Even though he was just starting at LinkedIn, Jeff quickly earned the trust of technical teams and leadership alike."
Keith Millar
Former Manager, Information Security Program Office, LinkedIn
"I highly recommend Jeff as an exceptional transformational leader who prioritizes his team's growth and consistently delivers outstanding results. His motivational leadership and commitment to personal development make him an invaluable asset to any organization."

Consulting Director, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42
