Ivan Del Valle

Dr. Ivan Del Valle is a Puerto Rican author of business and technical books who works at the intersection of artificial intelligence governance, risk, and compliance, advising on the structural and ethical dimensions of how AI systems are deployed across organizations and creative industries. His practice operates through Roger Sherman Holdings.

He is also a literary fiction writer whose work is rooted in heritage, memory, and the structural attention to how ordinary lives are reshaped by larger institutional forces. He is the author of the Smokescreen Series (The Inconvenience, Mr. President, State 53, Cartagena, The Reconstruction, The Archives); the Lioness's Testament trilogy (The Lioness's Hand, The Wall of Ravaldino, The World Would Turn to Stone); the Covenant saga (First Covenant, Last Pantheon, Mortal Covenant); and the contemporary literary novels The Helpful, Magnificata Humanitas, Unmet Demand, and Item Eleven.

His novels move with the discipline of literary fiction across the boundaries of institutional dread, environmental reckoning, and contemporary suspense. Readers of Kazuo Ishiguro, Don DeLillo, Cormac McCarthy, and Louise Erdrich will find in his work the same attention to the human scale of institutional power.
