Author: Derek W Gibson

I am a practitioner and adjunct professor working at the intersection of AI strategy, analytics governance, and the responsible use of data. I bridge AI strategy and enterprise execution, where I have been a leader in analytics risk governance at Wells Fargo while shaping the next generation of AI professionals as an Adjunct Professor at Wake Forest University. With 30+ years of driving data-driven transformation, I specialize in turning complex analytics challenges into high-level strategy, regulatory compliance frameworks, and measurable business outcomes. I have applied numbers to problems and, through experience, discovered a few problems with numbers. Through this work, I have confronted firsthand the challenges of data misuse and misinformation, experiences that led me to co-author Data Duped: How to Avoid Being Hoodwinked by Misinformation with Jeffrey D.
