Atlanta, GA, April 23, 2026 - Diligent, the AI leader in governance, risk and compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions, today unveiled a new generation of autonomous AI agents, including AI Board Member - a secure AI assistant for directors - and a coordinated network of agents embedded across the Diligent One Platform. Accessible through a single command center, agents automate multi-step workflows across governance, risk, compliance and third-party management, giving organizations the impact of a "GRC manager" without adding headcount. "AI supercharges teams that embrace it, and boards are no exception," said Brian Stafford, President and CEO of Diligent. "With AI Board Member and a network of autonomous agents woven through the Diligent One Platform, we're giving the C-suite and GRC leaders a secure, governed digital workforce that senses risk faster than traditional governance can keep up, keeps every step auditable, and lets them focus on the judgement only they can provide." Diligent's autonomous agent network allows practitioners and leaders to direct persona-specific agents that autonomously plan, execute and audit end-to-end workflows across governance, risk, compliance and audit, with human judgement approving every decision. Underneath, a connected data and collaboration model keeps everything in sync - from the risk register and entity records to enterprise resource planning and human resources systems - so updates flow through to the board without manual rework. AI Board Member: A digital colleague in the boardroom Stemming from Diligent's 30+ years of governance experience and a global customer base of 25,000 + organizations, AI Board Member acts as a secure AI assistant for directors, instantly recalling board materials, industry news, public research and other trusted sources, as well as providing on-demand specialist perspectives. * Strengthens oversight and skills for the board by giving directors organization-specific guidance on AI, cyber, risk, audit, and more - grounded in their own materials, industry trends, and peer benchmarks, all within enterprise-grade security and sharing controls. * Moves boards from reactive to ready with instant recall of relevant board information and deep market context that helps directors explore scenarios and implications before they ever step into the room. * Acts as a boardroom assistant by joining board, committee and leadership meetings to take minutes, assign action items and proactively follow up on actions to ensure preparation happens ahead of the next meeting. Subsidiary Governance Agent: Manage subsidiary board packs and officer appointments at scale The Subsidiary Governance Agent helps legal and governance teams manage complex entity structures at scale by automating the mechanics of subsidiary board operations and officer appointments. * Automates subsidiary governance at scale by preparing board packs, minutes, approvals and filings across dozens or hundreds of entities and jurisdictions, ensuring consistent, auditable governance. * Orchestrates director and officer appointment changesinto a review step, not a data entry task,triggering notifications, identifying required filings and keeping board and committee compositions current and compliant. * Continuously monitors and identifies compliance gaps by surfacing missing sections, outdated content and jurisdiction-specific requirements, then proposing appropriate changes in bulk as regulations, events or cross-entity changes occur. Enterprise Risk Governance Agent: From rearview mirror to early warning system The Enterprise Risk Governance Agent shifts organizations from reactive reporting to proactive risk management by automating how enterprise risks are identified, assessed and reported. * Transforms raw risk signals into board-ready insights and SEC-aligned disclosures, highlighting key trends and changes over time. Enriched with Moody's risk benchmarking data, it embeds peer and market context - creating a seamless path from risk identification to defensible, disclosure-ready reporting. * Automates the enterprise risk workflow by converting board materials and emerging signals into structured risk items within a centralized risk register, intelligently recommending owners and gathering input through automated assessments, all while keeping risk teams in control without administrative burden. * Reduces risk and disclosure cycles by replacing manual coordination and review with streamlined, auditable workflows - ensuring executives, boards and counsel can trust that every disclosure is accurate, on time and ready for filing. With autonomous agents, organizations stay firmly in charge of decisions. Every agent's action and recommendation is logged and traceable, with approvals creating an auditable record aligned to established governance standards. Leaders set clear boundaries for agent activity, review outputs in plain language, and determine what to accept, modify or reject. Diligent's agentic AI capabilities were showcased at Elevate 2026, its premier annual conference for governance, risk, compliance and audit professionals, with general availability expected in the fall. Customers can request early access to AI Board Member here, and autonomous agents here, giving them the opportunity to pilot these capabilities on real-world use cases and help shape the next phase of intelligent, AI-driven GRC.

Mayo GAA land county's first CEO. Mayo GAA has appointed Ruairí Conroy as its first-ever chief executive officer, with the Tuar Mhic Éadaigh native set to take up the role from June next. Conroy's appointment was ratified by delegates at a Mayo GAA County Board meeting this evening (Tuesday). He will oversee the commercial growth, sponsorship and strategic planning of Mayo GAA, while providing professional support to clubs, volunteers, players and stakeholders across the county. A graduate of the University of Limerick and TU Dublin, where he studied IT and telecommunications and strategic management, Conroy brings more than 20 years of commercial and corporate experience to the role, having worked with a range of global multinationals. He began his career in Irish media, holding sales positions with radio stations 98FM and Spin 1038, before joining Google, where he spent five years in commercial sales management. He also completed the Google business leadership programme at Duke University. After leaving Google in 2013, Conroy joined AdRoll as director of sales for EMEA, growing the company from two employees to 100 within three years. He returned to Mayo in 2015 and the following year took on the role of managing director of EMEA for SiteMinder, scaling its Irish operation from two staff to 140 employees in Galway. Most recently, Conroy has served as vice-president of global sales development and site leader at Diligent, a US software company, where he leads a global commercial team generating more than $300 million of pipeline annually. His appointment was managed through a recruitment process overseen by Collins McNicholas. Speaking on his appointment, Conroy said it was an incredibly proud moment for him and his family. His primary focus, he added, would be to provide professional support to club officials, players and stakeholders, alongside implementing a strategic growth plan to ensure Mayo GAA has the resources needed to give its teams every opportunity to succeed. Conroy will also play a leading role in delivering Mayo GAA's planned centre of excellence in Bohola. Mayo GAA chairperson Seamus Tuohy welcomed the announcement, describing Conroy's commercial and corporate background as an asset at what he called a critical time for the county board.
