Data Leadership That Delivers Results — Not Just Recommendations

Fractional CDO & Executive Data Advisor

Most data initiatives stall not because the technology is wrong, but because strategy, execution, and leadership are disconnected. I bridge that gap — delivering data teams, platforms, and practices that create business value long after our engagement ends.

Data is a Team Sport

The best data strategies fail without business alignment, integrated teams, and measurable ROI. I help organizations build sustainable data ecosystems where analytics becomes a natural part of decision-making.

Business-First Strategy

Data initiatives that start with P&L outcomes, not technology. Every project tied to measurable business value.

Integrated Teams

Breaking down silos between data, engineering, and business. Building cultures where analytics is everyone's job.

Measurable ROI

Clear metrics from day one. No vanity dashboards - only insights that drive decisions and demonstrate value.

About

With 25+ years leading data transformation at Fortune 500 organizations including TD Bank, Visa, Disney, and TSYS, I bring a unique perspective that bridges technical excellence and business impact.

My philosophy is simple: Data is a Team Sport. The best data strategies fail without business alignment, integrated teams, and measurable ROI. I help organizations build sustainable data ecosystems where analytics becomes a natural part of decision-making.

I believe in servant leadership - developing people who can take your job. The measure of a data leader isn't the dashboards they build, but the culture they create.
