- no new headcount
- no operational disruption
02
Executive Coaching
Leadership development for GCs at strategic inflection points - presence, authority, and board communication.
03
Keynotes & Workshops
High-impact talks on AI governance, crisis leadership, and executive performance.
The Leadership Challenge of the AI Era
You didn't become General Counsel by ignoring risk.
The reality is AI is moving faster than any framework you've inherited.
Your Organization Is Already Running AI You Haven't Reviewed.
The average enterprise runs 20-30 AI applications that legal has never seen. Some are making decisions that carry real liability - right now.
The Regulatory Clock Is Already Running.
FDA guidance, the EU AI Act, HIPPA, and OSHA standards are not waiting for your governance teams to catch up. The EU AI Act alone carries fines up to €35 Million.
You Are Being Asked To Lead On AI ...
Without The Infrastructure To Do It.
Most governance frameworks are built for IT. Yours needs to work for Legal. Those are not the same thing.
I've managed this exact problem — leading 1,000+ legal and regulatory professionals through FDA inspections, HIPPA investigations, and AI-adjacent crises. I know what this looks like from the inside.
This is the governance gap The Velocity Protocol™ closes in 6–8 weeks.
Cherée H. Johnson - Engineer. Lawyer. Executive.
I didn't build The Velocity Protocol™ in a classroom. I built it in the field.
3X CLO/ GC. I've led 1,000+ legal and regulatory professionals through FDA inspections, HIPPA investigations, and real AI-adjacent crises. I founded Haswell & Co. because General Counsels deserve better than good intentions and outdated playbooks.
