BotAris Names Ken Stone to Board of Directors and Launches Advisory Board

Leaders in identity, enterprise security and business law join BotAris as the company advances its Authority Governance platform toward enterprise commercialization.

DALLAS, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Botaris AI, Inc., an emerging leader in AI agent governance, today announced the appointment of Ken Stone to its Board of Directors as an independent director. The company also announced the formation of its advisory board, welcoming the founding members David Lee, Kyle Weckman and Drew Christman.  Together, the board members and advisors will support BotAris as it expands enterprise partnerships, accelerates product commercialization, and positions the company for its next phase of growth.

Stone brings more than 30 years of technology and cybersecurity leadership, including founding and successfully exiting SecureITsource and Logic Trends. He served as Vice Chairman of the Americas at iC Consult Group following its acquisition of SecureITsource. Logic Trends earned Inc. 500 recognition three times. Stone joins Founder and CEO Jonathan Edwards and co-founder KJ Gambhir on BotAris' Board of Directors.

"Ken's entrepreneurial leadership, cybersecurity expertise, and experience scaling businesses will be invaluable as we bring authority governance for AI agents to market," said Edwards. "Together with our advisory board, he strengthens our ability to build a successful enterprise technology company."

"Enterprises want the productivity that AI agents promise, but most cannot yet say with confidence what those agents are authorized to decide," said Stone. "BotAris is going after that problem directly. I'm excited to help Jonathan and the team bring this technology to market, develop enterprise relationships, and build a scalable business and expand our commercial reach."

The advisory board members bring complementary experience across identity, enterprise security and business law:

David Lee, known across the identity community as "The Identity Jedi," has spent two decades in identity and access management. He is Field CTO at Saviynt and host of The Identity Jedi Show podcast. He previously held roles at SailPoint, including Senior Identity Strategist in the Office of the CTO, and at Amazon Web Services, where he focused on business development for identity services.

Kyle Weckman is Chief Information Security Officer at Antares Capital and a member of the Cyberstarts CISO Advisory Board. He previously led cybersecurity and technology risk at Kestra Holdings and served as Executive Director of Security Services at the Options Clearing Corporation. Earlier in his career, he held security and audit roles at Accenture and Deloitte.

Drew Christman is the founder of Christman Attorneys, PLLC, a Texas law firm, and has more than 25 years of experience in law and business leadership. He previously served as CEO of Providence Title and as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Alabama.

The appointments strengthen BotAris' governance and leadership as the company prepares for its enterprise release and continues to expand its design partner engagements.
