Patrick McKinney has joined Turing as Chief Information Security Officer. Most recently he was VP of Security IT at Invisible Technologies, and previously held security and compliance roles at Dropbox and Coinbase.
According to Turing, McKinney will lead the company's global security strategy as it scales its work with AI labs and with enterprises in highly regulated industries. In the CISO role, he will oversee security across both the frontier AI and enterprise AI businesses of Turing, the company says. Jonathan Siddharth, who was CEO and founder of Turing at the time of the announcement, said McKinney will help keep security foundational to how the company operates and scales as it builds and deploys increasingly capable AI systems with frontier labs and enterprises.
At Invisible Technologies, the release says, McKinney was the first dedicated security hire and built the security organization there from the ground up. The release says he was on the teams at Dropbox and Coinbase that helped guide both companies through their public offerings.
The company describes its mission as accelerating superintelligence to drive real economic progress. According to the release, the San Francisco company helps frontier AI labs improve the capabilities of models in frontier STEM, enterprise knowledge work and software engineering through evaluations, expert human data and reinforcement learning environments. The company says it also helps Fortune 500 enterprises in CPG, automotive, retail, healthcare, life sciences and financial services to build, deploy and scale agentic AI systems. According to the release, the work Turing does with AI labs and Fortune 500 companies across industries creates a broad range of data protection, compliance and security requirements. The company says operating on both sides lets Turing close the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment.
