Credo AI Launches Global Partner Program to Accelerate Enterprise AI Governance and Build Trust in the $15 Trillion AI Economy
In a bold move to address one of the most pressing challenges in the AI landscape, Credo AI, a leader in AI governance software for enterprises, has officially launched the Global Credo AI Partner Program. This initiative formalizes a growing network of strategic alliances with industry giants across cloud computing, data management, governance, risk, compliance (GRC), consulting, and AI infrastructure. The program’s launch partners include Microsoft, IBM, Databricks, Booz Allen Hamilton, McKinsey, EXL Service, Version1, and others—creating an unprecedented coalition aimed at solving one of the biggest bottlenecks in enterprise AI adoption: trust and governance at scale.
As businesses race to capitalize on AI’s projected $15.7 trillion economic impact by 2030, many are struggling to unlock the full potential of their AI initiatives. According to recent studies, 74% of companies face significant hurdles in scaling AI value due to challenges like regulatory compliance, risk management, and lack of trust in AI systems. Meanwhile, the AI governance market is rapidly expanding, projected to reach $15.8 billion by 2030, underscoring the urgent need for solutions that can ensure responsible AI deployment while mitigating risks.
The stakes are high for organizations that fail to govern AI effectively. Regulatory fines, operational failures, and reputational damage can erode decades of value creation. To address this critical gap, Credo AI’s Partner Program introduces a revolutionary approach: Trusted AI requires an ecosystem, not silos. By integrating governance into the platforms, processes, and tools that enterprises already use, Credo AI and its partners are building an enterprise-wide “trust fabric” to enable responsible AI development and deployment at scale.
A Unified Ecosystem for Responsible AI
“AI governance is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s the competitive differentiator that separates AI leaders from laggards,” said Navrina Singh, Founder and CEO of Credo AI. “But no single company can solve this challenge alone. Our Partner Program brings together the best in AI tooling, cloud, data, GRC, and services to help organizations embed trust in AI and govern responsibly, at scale.”
Over the past two years, Credo AI has collaborated closely with hyperscalers, SaaS vendors, advisory firms, and domain-specific platforms to embed governance across the AI lifecycle—from design and development to deployment and monitoring. With the launch of the Global Partner Program, this collaborative momentum is now formalized, structured, and scalable. The program spans over 30 partners (and growing) across various categories, including:
- Management consulting firms
- Federal partners
- Global systems integrators
- Boutique partners
- Hyperscalers
- Independent software vendors (ISVs)
- Integration partners
- Distributor channels
- Audit partners
Notably, many of these partners are also strategic customers, demonstrating their trust in Credo AI’s platform for their own AI governance needs. The program is designed to deliver four pillars of enterprise AI governance excellence:
- Integrated Governance: Seamless oversight across the entire AI/ML lifecycle, from system design through production deployment and monitoring.
- AI Risk Visibility & Alignment: Unified oversight across models, data, and organizational layers, empowering AI teams and leaders to make confident investment decisions.
- Regulatory Readiness: Alignment with key frameworks such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF), ISO/IEC 42001, and industry-specific standards.
- Joint Go-to-Market Acceleration: Packaged governance solutions that help enterprises adopt AI safely and faster, reducing time-to-value while maintaining compliance.
Partners Driving Innovation in AI Governance
The launch cohort includes several technology and services innovators working hand-in-hand with Credo AI to advance responsible AI practices:
- Microsoft: Integrating Credo AI’s governance platform with Azure AI Foundry to enable responsible development workflows and compliance monitoring for large-scale generative AI deployments.
- IBM: Collaborating with IBM watsonx on compliance accelerators powered by Credo AI to ensure transparent and explainable AI systems.
- Databricks: Enhancing visibility and accountability by integrating Credo AI’s Model Registry with MLflow to automatically discover and catalog AI models in development or use.
“Heather Gentile, Director of Product at IBM watsonx.governance,” emphasized the importance of collaboration: “As AI becomes more deeply embedded in enterprise operations, it’s crucial to build out a robust AI governance ecosystem. IBM’s collaboration with Credo AI on Compliance Accelerators advances this goal, pooling expertise across organizations to fuel more responsible, transparent, and explainable AI.”
A Movement Toward Trusted AI
“Our partners are fundamental to making trust in AI a competitive advantage,” said Alok Panigrahy, Head of Partnerships at Credo AI. “Through this program, we’re activating a global network of leaders who understand that governance is a catalyst for enterprise AI success.”
The Partner Program reflects Credo AI’s belief that governance is a team sport—one that must bring together stakeholders across AI, data science, legal, risk, and IT to ensure AI systems are not only effective but also ethical and compliant.
“With Credo AI and our partners, enterprises can finally operationalize trust—embedding oversight directly into how AI is built and scaled,” Singh added. “Together, we’re defining a new standard for trusted AI. The question isn’t whether your organization will need AI governance—it’s whether you’ll lead with it or be left behind.”
Building a Future of Responsible AI
Credo AI’s Global Partner Program marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI governance. By uniting industry leaders under a shared mission, the program is poised to accelerate the adoption of responsible AI practices, ensuring that organizations can harness the transformative power of AI while safeguarding against risks. As the AI-powered economy continues to grow, trust will remain the cornerstone of sustainable innovation—and Credo AI’s ecosystem-driven approach is leading the way.
For enterprises looking to thrive in the $15 trillion AI-driven economy, the message is clear: governance is not just a regulatory requirement but a strategic imperative. With the Global Partner Program, Credo AI is empowering organizations to embed trust into every stage of their AI journey, setting a new benchmark for responsible AI leadership.
