In this episode of The Entry Point podcast, host Nick Oliveri welcomes two industry leaders reshaping how enterprises approach AI governance: Skip McCormick, CTO at Angularis and former AI practice lead at a major financial institution, and Dave Trier, VP of Product at ModelOp.
Together, they explore how AI governance—often seen as a roadblock—can actually be the enabler of scalability, speed, and trust. Dave offers compelling analogies that bring this concept to life, comparing governance to a football team’s playbook and a factory’s bill of materials. His message is clear:
“If you have the right playbook in place, you allow all the different players to know exactly what they should be doing, when they should be doing it… that actually helps get AI solutions to market faster.”
From the risks of cowboy coding to the $3 billion mistake made by TD Bank, the conversation is packed with real-world lessons for Fortune 100s and lean teams alike. Learn how lifecycle governance—from inception to retirement—builds trust, improves audit outcomes, and frees your data scientists to do what they do best.
Whether you’re trying to avoid costly delays or looking to scale AI responsibly, this episode offers practical insight, sharp analogies, and a forward-looking view of what governance must become in the age of agents and LLMs.
