About the Author
Alex Golbin is a senior financial-services executive with over two decades of experience leading enterprise risk and regulatory remediation. His work spans enterprise resiliency, technology transformation, data governance, and business process improvement.
Alex has held leadership roles at Fortune 500 companies and global systemically important banks. In a prior role, he led a risk-assessments business―a joint venture with 16 banks―to improve operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency. He has enabled multiple industry consortiums, developed risk-management and cybersecurity frameworks, and established strategic partnerships across sectors.
Alex is the co-author of Navigating Supply Chain Cyber Risk (2025) and serves as an expert advisor on cybersecurity, risk management, and technology. He is a member of ISACA and PMI, and serves on the Academic Advisory Board at Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science. He holds the PMP, CDPSE, and CISM certifications. Alex earned his MBA in Finance and Management from NYU Stern and a BS in Computer Science.
Alex wrote Governing AI Risk after watching a repeatable failure pattern harden into a systemic one: teams optimize for speed, normalize shortcuts, and only see the bill when converged risks detonate. When his son Aaron Golbin―now funding AI startups at the edge of that speed―asked, “How do we build responsibly at this pace?” Alex didn’t have a satisfying answer. The fictional protagonist Aaron Goldcrest echoes that question in story form, with his missteps deliberately exaggerated to model how risk can compound when governance lags. This book is that answer: a resilience standard that doesn’t kill momentum, told through a story that makes the stakes impossible to ignore. It also makes a second promise. The same Cognitive Handshake™ that keeps enterprises audit-ready can keep individuals effective: a way to use AI for research, writing, and analysis while preserving ownership of the decision. Govern the system, govern the self―the rules are the same.
