Dan Zitting

Managing Director & CEO of Galvanize, a Diligent company and the leading provider of SaaS solutions for enterprise governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) globally. Recognized by Forrester & Gartner as category leader, 6,000 enterprises and governments in 130 countries use Galvanize’s HighBond platform to run their organization with confidence and integrity. My personal purpose is to challenge the planet’s organizations to maximize total stakeholder impact by operating with a conscience. I've shared related experience in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, CFO Magazine, Bloomberg Business, Reuters, The Street, CNBC, etc. and received “40 under 40” award recognition from E&Y, CPA Practice Advisor, BIV, ColoradoBiz, etc. Prior to Galvanize, I spent many years in audit/risk/security/compliance advisory services before founding SaaS platform and NYC tech startup Workpapers.com, the first SaaS software for audit & compliance management. We were acquired by Galvanize in late 2011, combining the power of cloud collaboration and "big data" analytics into one industry-leading platform and brand. Galvanize, in turn, was acquired by Diligent in a $1B transaction creating the world's largest company in GRC.
