Fractional Head of Data for companies that need senior data leadership without the full-time hire.

What I do

Fractional advisory means I sit alongside a company's data leadership on a recurring basis. I look at what they have, I ask the questions that don't normally get asked, and I propose changes. Then I stay long enough to help put those changes into practice. It's not a one-time audit. It's an ongoing working relationship with less of my time than a full hire costs.

This works for small companies that need solid data foundations before they can do anything serious with AI. Companies where the data team is technically capable but the strategy, structure, or priorities aren't quite right. The kind of place where one good decision changes everything, and one bad one takes months to undo.

I've spent years in senior data roles across companies at different stages and sizes. I write about this work publicly in Uncle Data, which means I think carefully about what's actually true versus what sounds good in a conference talk. I've seen enough teams from the inside to know the difference between a real data problem and a naming problem.
