The Global Credo AI Partner Program tackles the bottleneck of AI trust and governance, as 74% of companies struggle to scale AI initiatives. “AI governance is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s the competitive differentiator that separates AI leaders from AI laggards,” said Navrina Singh, Founder and CEO of Credo AI. By embedding governance into platforms like Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and IBM watsonx, the program ensures seamless compliance and risk management across the AI lifecycle, from development to deployment.
The program includes over 30 partners, such as Microsoft, IBM, Databricks, and McKinsey, many of whom are also strategic customers, validating Credo AI’s platform. “Our partners are fundamental to making Trust in AI real as a competitive advantage,” said Alok Panigrahy, Head of Partnerships at Credo AI. For example, Databricks integrates Credo AI’s Model Registry with MLflow for automated AI cataloging, while IBM’s Compliance Accelerators leverage Credo AI’s Policy Packs to streamline regulatory adherence.
The program is built on four key pillars: Integrated Governance, ensuring oversight from design to monitoring; AI Risk Visibility & Alignment, providing unified insights across models and data; Regulatory Readiness, aligning with standards like the EU AI Act; and Joint Go-to-Market Acceleration, delivering packaged solutions for faster, compliant AI adoption. “As AI becomes more deeply embedded in enterprise operations, it’s crucial to build out a robust AI governance ecosystem,” says Heather Gentile, Director of Product, IBM watsonx.governance.
With the AI governance market projected to reach $15.8 billion by 2030, Credo AI’s program addresses the high stakes of non-compliance, including regulatory fines and reputational damage. By fostering collaboration across AI, data science, legal, and IT stakeholders, the program creates an enterprise-wide “trust fabric” that integrates governance into existing workflows, enabling organizations to scale AI responsibly and maximize ROI.
Credo AI’s Global Partner Program sets a new standard for trusted AI, empowering enterprises to lead with governance and unlock AI’s transformative potential. By uniting industry leaders, the program ensures compliance and drives innovation in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.
