I help businesses close the gap between data ambition and data reality.

Most organizations have more data than they know what to do with, and less clarity than they need to get the most value from it. I work with them to change that: building data strategies that are honest about where they are, realistic about what they can achieve, and connected to outcomes that actually matter.

I'm a practical generalist with hands-on experience across data strategy, platform design, semantics, and governance. I believe in foundations over shortcuts, ownership over naked deliverables, and partnership over consulting.

What I do

Value-driven data strategy We build a strategy that puts business value at the center. Business use cases determine what gets built next. For each one, we work through every layer that matters: business context, information needs, data requirements, applications, and technology. The result is crystal clear clarity on what to build, in what order, and who will actually benefit from it.

Strategy to roadmap You have a strategy but don't know where to start. What comes first? Where are the gaps? How do you bring the right stakeholders along and turn them into genuine ambassadors rather than passive approvers? That's what we tackle here: turning strategic intent into a sequenced, defensible plan that the business can actually move on.

Data architecture Once you know where you want to go, you need a coherent architecture to actually deliver the value in a sustainable way. We draw up the conceptual and technical architecture, and include it into the roadmap.

Data partner Some of the most durable value comes from being embedded in a business over time, not parachuting in with recommendations and leaving before reality has a chance to respond. If you're interested in a longer-term engagement that builds capability from the inside, and you want a partner with real skin in the game, let's talk about what that could look like.
