Fix the chaos. Align your data. Scale with confidence.
Bloated stack? Fuzzy compliance story? Drowning in tools with no clear roadmap? I help early stage teams clean up risk, flag hidden liabilities, and make data decisions faster — before it costs you funding or trust
Who I Help
Early-stage data teams who need to move fast — without cutting corners.
You're building under pressure — investor timelines, growing teams, and product demands. But your data stack is tangled, and your compliance story doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
If you're...
- Scaling before locking down ownership, access, or structure
- Unsure how to justify tool spend (or what’s redundant)
- Getting asked questions you can’t answer from dashboards
- Planning a fundraise and worried about data and governance gaps
…I help you design a leaner, clearer, more defensible data strategy — without a full-time Head of Data.
