Executive search provider ZRG Partners added an artificial intelligence ethicist to its board with the appointment of Bennett B. Borden on March 19. Borden is an attorney, data scientist and AI ethicist who has advised Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and others.

“Bennett doesn’t just understand AI — he understands its impact on leadership, decision-making and business transformation,” Larry Hartmann, CEO of ZRG, said in a press release.

Borden began his career at the CIA, where he used machine learning and data analytics to predict and influence organizational behavior. He has also been a partner at law firms such as Gibson Dunn, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath, and DLA Piper, where in March 2024 he was named chief data scientist. His work included counseling enterprises and government agencies on AI compliance, algorithmic fairness and data strategy.

He also later founded Clarion AI Partners, a firm dedicated to helping organizations establish strategic AI frameworks and responsible AI development.

“AI is changing everything — how we lead, how we hire, how we make decisions,” Borden said in a press release. “ZRG is already ahead of the curve in integrating data-driven talent solutions, and I’m excited to help push that vision even further. The firms that adapt fastest to AI’s potential will outpace their competitors in ways we’ve never seen before.”
