AI Syndicate is a governance and consulting initiative founded by Mike Holownych, drawing on more than 20 years of enterprise experience at TMX Group, BMO, and BlackBerry. It focuses on helping organizations implement AI and automation reliably, particularly in regulated environments where accountability, oversight, and auditability matter. Its AI governance infrastructure is designed to verify that agent actions are authorized before they occur, while supporting controls for tool access, delegated authority, and containment.

Services and areas of expertise include AI implementation for operations teams, n8n automation architecture, workflow integration, and operations strategy. The governance library covers AI execution, autonomous agents, incident management, financial services, and production automation, with attention to evidence, change control, and human oversight. Holownych’s approach emphasizes systems that work in production, preserve sound judgment, and can be maintained under real operational and regulatory pressures. The site also features technical articles, n8n workflow templates, a business automation quiz, and a community Discord server.
