Data strategy & governance

“We don't know who owns our data, who can see it, or why it costs so much.”

Companies add tools, people, and data faster than anyone plans for. I design the architecture your data runs on and put standards, documentation, and controls around it, so it stays organized as the business scales.

What it's worth to your business

Departments stay aligned

Sales, finance, and operations see the same customer, product, and vendor records, documented in a catalog anyone can search.

Clear accountability

Every data domain has a named owner. When something looks wrong, someone fixes it instead of everyone quietly working around it.

Spend that tracks value

Right-sized compute and storage cut what you pay for idle capacity, and monitoring shows where every dollar goes.

Signs you need this

  • Your data setup grew one tool at a time, with no plan behind it
  • Nobody can say who owns a dataset or who's allowed to change it
  • Your warehouse bill grows faster than your usage
  • You couldn't say today where all your customer data lives

What's included

Architecture and roadmap

A review of how data moves through your business today and a prioritized plan for where it should go, sized to your team and budget.

Master data and catalog

One record for each customer, product, and vendor across every system, documented in a catalog that shows where data lives and where it came from.

Ownership and stewardship

An owner and a steward for each data domain, with quality standards that define what accurate, complete data looks like.

Security, privacy, and retention

Role-based access, masking on sensitive fields, and retention rules that keep you in line with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA.

Cost optimization

Warehouse sizing, auto-suspend, storage rules, and usage alerts so costs stay predictable.

Common questions

We're a small company. Is governance overkill?

No. At your size, governance is a handful of decisions: who owns what, who sees what, and what you'll spend. Making them now costs far less than untangling them later.

Will this slow my team down?

It should do the opposite. Clear ownership and access rules mean fewer permission requests, fewer surprises, and less time checking whether data is safe to use.
