CTO at goLance • Making software simple • Startup Mentor

80% of companies quit on AI before it helps.

Why? 
• One doubtful engineer
• Scary tool costs
• Or no clear plan

I make those problems disappear.

Who I Am
• 20+ years in code and leadership – from hands-on developer to CTO.
• Scaled SaaS platforms used by millions of customers.
• Trained global teams of 10 – 200 engineers to work faster and smarter.
• Guided “boring-industry” firms like healthcare and banks through tough tech shifts.

What I Bring
• Plain-language coaching – Your leaders and engineers get the “why” and the “how” without buzzwords.
• Tool fit & cost control – Pick the right AI tools, keep data safe, and stop surprise credit charges.
• Team habits that stick – I show devs how to fold AI into daily tasks—code reviews, tests, docs—until it feels natural.
• Measurable gains – Expect quicker releases, fewer bugs, and happier engineers in weeks, not years.
• Outcome pricing – You pay for real results, not for my hours on a clock.

The Bottom Line
If you lead a steady, no-flash company and keep hearing, “AI sounds cool, but…,” let’s talk. I turn that “but” into better software, lower costs, and a team that loves its work.

👋 I’m Stanley, CEO and co-founder at Katilyst, where we believe great security culture starts with humans, not tools.

I spend my days obsessing over how to enable high-performing, purpose-driven organizational culture by blending behavioral science, product design, and a touch of game theory. Whether we’re helping enterprises gamify security adoption or guiding dev teams to take ownership of their work, my mission is the same: make people want to do the right thing - and enjoy it!

I champion environments where change feels exciting (not exhausting), where culture isn’t a buzzword but a buildable asset, and where product experiences motivate people to grow, share, and succeed together.

Let’s design the future of security, one empowered champion at a time.

🏰 Join me at Privacy Village! 

I’ll be speaking at Privacy Village DPD’26 FEST, a first-of-its-kind gamified online festival where attendees can journey into the heart of Privacy, AI Governance, and Security. It's where compliance meets chaos, and learning feels like an epic quest! ⚔️🐉

On Tuesday, January 27th, I'll be rallying our privacy advocates to find the Security Champions in their organizations, focusing on how privacy best practices play a fundamental part of the Champion experience.

Forget boring webinars. This is a quest. Pick your faction, join the battle for AI, and let’s secure the realm together.
