Raul Villar Jr, AuditBoard | Audit & Beyond 2025

Описание: In this Audit & Beyond segment, Raul Villar Jr., chief executive officer of AuditBoard, joins theCUBE’s Rob Strechay and Rebecca Knight to share how AuditBoard is scaling its AI-fueled connected risk platform and why “risk in isolation is dangerous.” Villar outlines momentum highlights from the event – 7th year of the conference, 1,200+ users onsite, 10,000+ virtual viewers and 40+ breakouts – alongside business updates such as $300M+ ARR, new leadership energy and the acquisition of FairNow to advance AI governance. He explains how AuditBoard is investing to expand across audit, risk and compliance, building comprehensive dashboards for CEOs/CFOs/boards, and accelerating global expansion beyond the UK&I and Germany over the next 18 months.

The conversation dives into practical lessons from Villar’s prior scale journeys (ADP, Paycor, AdvancedMD), including customer-obsessed product roadmaps, embracing AI to eliminate mundane work (e.g., faster coding, automated QA, better marketing workflows) and treating the IPO as an event and public-company operations as a process – where tools like AuditBoard help teams stay SOX-ready quarter after quarter. Villar discusses the surge in GRC spend amid AI and geopolitical complexity, how partners tailor solutions to regional regulations (with Europe often more risk-focused), and how AuditBoard is prioritizing culture, customer obsession and worldwide ambition (with expansion paths through Benelux, Nordics, France, and demand in APJ, Middle East, South Africa).
