Fractional Data Leadership
Your data governance roadmap has no owner. We provide executive leadership at 1–2 days a week, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Overview
A full-time Head of Data Governance is hard to justify at mid-market scale — but the absence of that role doesn't remove the need for it. Decisions get made without a governance lens, vendors go unchecked, and engineering teams execute without strategic direction on compliance or AI risk. The cost isn't visible month to month. It shows up later, as technical debt, a stalled audit, or a board question no one can answer.
What We Deliver
Governance Operating Model Design
Shaping your data and AI governance operating model with clear structure, priorities, and accountability lines.
AI Strategy & ISO 42001 Advisory
Roadmap advisory for AI governance and ISO 42001 alignment, embedded into your existing strategic planning.

Hands-on mentorship and capability uplift so your engineering team can execute against governance standards independently.

Executive-level oversight to hold vendors accountable, with regular reporting so leadership has visibility without managing it directly.
