AI Innovation Strategist; Tech CEO & Keynote Speaker on Sovereign AI, Cybersecurity & Critical Infrastructure; Founder & CEO of Strong Interactive; Ranked Top 100 People in AI Globally (Crunchbase)
Jonathan M. Herman Biography
Jonathan M. Herman is an award-winning technology executive, innovation strategist, and Founder & CEO of Strong Interactive, where he builds AI-driven platforms and emerging-technology ventures across regulated industries, sports, hospitality, education and digital transformation. He is also the founder of SOVAIR (formerly AirNode.AI), which deploys sovereign, air-gapped AI inside regulated environments where models cannot touch a public cloud.
Herman's most timely work is secure AI adoption for organizations where data privacy, operational resilience, cyber risk and regulatory compliance are mission-critical. As AI Consultant to Cyber Realm Solutions he advises on AI strategy for cybersecurity in nuclear operations, and he is currently leading an air-gapped AI deployment inside a regulated nuclear environment. In August 2026, he moderated the ""AI for Energy Resilience"" panel at Ai4 2026 in Las Vegas alongside GE Vernova.
Recognized for pioneering practical applications of artificial intelligence, mixed reality and blockchain, Herman has led award-winning ventures including MetaDine, Baller Mixed Reality, W3B Advisor and AR-T. Crunchbase ranks him among the Top 100 People in AI Globally and the Top 20 in Blockchain Globally, and his work has earned recognition from the Technology Innovator Awards, the American Metaverse Awards, Innovation in Business and other industry organizations. A graduate of Northeastern University School of Law, Herman brings a legal operator's view to liability, governance and regulatory compliance.
As a speaker, Herman translates complex technologies into practical executive strategy: where AI is creating opportunity, where it introduces risk, and how organizations can innovate without compromising trust, security or human judgment. He is a builder and operator, not only a futurist, and an exceptional fit for innovation forums, leadership summits, AI governance programs, energy and critical-infrastructure conferences, digital transformation events, executive retreats, university programs and entrepreneurship conferences.
