Nadhir Khayati is a tech founder and CTO with eight years of engineering and security leadership experience, currently building Ceel—an AI-native platform that automates continuous compliance and audit readiness for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. He combines hands-on software architecture skills with compliance stewardship from prior roles as Head of Engineering and Compliance & Security Officer at Zūm Rails and senior technical leadership in digital health at 360Medlink. Nadhir’s work focuses on blending AI copilots, automation, and real-time evidence intelligence to turn complex GRC requirements into adaptive, scalable workflows that accelerate enterprise deals and reduce audit costs. Based in the Greater Montreal area, he brings a practical product mindset informed by academic training in computer software engineering and a background teaching at ESPRIT. Notably, his pivot from mobile health innovation to founding an AI-first compliance startup reflects a pattern of tackling regulated domains where engineering rigor meets real-world impact. Though his GitHub bio is playfully minimal, his career shows sustained delivery of secure, auditable systems across startups and regulated industries.
