Nadia Brecht
Chief Knowledge Officer
Owns what every other agent in the company is allowed to believe.
Responsibilities5
Memory, provenance and what every agent is allowed to believe.
Accountable for organisational memory: what is written down, where it came from, how stale it is, and which agents may read it. Every other seat depends on this one being right, which is why it is the newest and the furthest behind.
- Index every document, contract and transcript into retrievable memory
- Hold provenance — every fact traceable to a source and a date
- Expire stale knowledge before an agent acts on it
- Set read scope per agent and per department
- Purge retired material from live agent contexts

Recent decisions3
Moved contracts ahead of transcripts
ApprovedTranscripts improve answer quality; contracts unblock two other executives and a compliance deadline. Sequencing is the only lever this seat has.
Unblocks CFO + CRO, delays search qualityYesterdayPurged retired brand kits from live contexts
ApprovedThree agents were still producing assets against a system the CMO retired six weeks ago. Deletion is the only reliable deprecation.
