Hi, I'm Sultan.

Sultan Meghji is the Co-Founder and CEO of Frontier Foundry Corporation, the founder of Virtova, and the former inaugural Chief Innovation Officer of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

I show up in rooms where the technology is hard, the stakes are real, and someone has to actually make it work.

Thirty-plus years wiring up AI and cybersecurity for places that can't afford to be wrong — banks, federal agencies, defense, healthcare. CEO of Frontier Foundry, founder of Virtova, the first Chief Innovation Officer the FDIC ever had. Mostly I just like shipping things that work on day one and day one thousand.

// now

What's on the bench this week.

Updated when the work changes — not when the calendar rolls over.

  • Running Frontier Foundry Corporation — shipping secured-AI platforms for financial services, life sciences, and U.S. federal law enforcement.
  • A small, deliberate Virtova consulting roster. Every engagement starts from a measurable outcome — the number on the page before the work begins.
  • Writing on AI, national security, and the fragile seams between them — slow cadence, high conviction.
  • Speaking when the room is serious and the topic is in lane.

// recent activity

What I've shipped lately.

"The hard part of AI in regulated industry isn't the model. It's the forty years of decisions the model has to respect — and the twenty years of regulation no one has written yet."
// from an FDIC keynote, 2022

// talk to me

Got a hard problem in a regulated room?

Media, speaking, consulting, or partnership. Lead with the outcome you're trying to move — that's where the conversation starts.
