Ayeo
A governance assistant for boards that runs fully offline. It reads your board's own documents in the right order of authority, from legislation down to minutes, so trustees get answers they can rely on.
Corporate governance consultant in Johannesburg Elegant solutions for expensive problems
I'm Nico Landman, a corporate governance specialist and innovation partner. For more than 35 years I've worked on the problems that quietly cost boards and businesses the most, and I build tools that fix them.
Trusted by members
Chosen by the people I serve
For twelve years, medical aid members have voted on whether I should keep representing them on their Board of Trustees. They’ve elected me repeatedly, and I’m serving my fourth term now. That kind of trust only lasts if you keep earning it, and it’s the standard I hold myself to with every MarLan client.

What I do
I take on the problems others leave alone
Every organisation has a problem everyone knows about and nobody wants to touch. It might be governance documents that contradict each other, paperwork that eats up whole days, or a process that only works because one person remembers how. I sit down with you, work out what's really going on, and build something that solves it. I stay until your people are using it.
01
Governance
Clear board processes, sound documents and decisions you can stand behind.
02
Innovation
Practical AI and automation that saves time and money from day one.
03
Implementation
I see the work through until it runs on its own.

Speaking
AI oversight for corporate boards
AI is already making its way into the work boards oversee, often before anyone has decided who is accountable for it. In this talk I show directors what good oversight of AI looks like, which questions to ask management, and how to keep the board in control without slowing the business down.
Discretion
Your board's business stays your board's business
Boards are expected to be on top of things, and asking for help is something most would rather keep quiet. I understand that. I work confidentially, I never name the boards I help, and Ayeo keeps your documents on your own computers, offline.
