The Oil & Gas AI Keynote Speaker - helping boards and operators govern the AI decisions already running their business. Ericsson OTC-week panelist · creator of Digital Information Governance® · Owner & President of ModalPoint, CEO of EWR Digital.
Ericsson · OTC week 2026
Matthew Bertram helps boards and operators govern the AI decisions already running their business - what their company gets recommended for, screened out of, and priced on, today. He is the creator of Digital Information Governance® (DIG) and the difference that matters on stage is simple: he builds what he speaks about.
As Owner & President of ModalPoint and CEO of EWR Digital, he has spent 25+ years turning digital strategy into systems that hold up - then translating it for the boardroom without the hype. He is a 2026 Ericsson OTC-week reception panelist, co-host of the Oil & Gas Sales & Marketing podcast on OGGN, a member of the NIST Cyber AI Profile Community of Interest, a Certified AI Auditor, and the author of multiple books.
