About

Every CDO I talk to is pushing AI use cases. Almost none of them trust the data underneath. The symptoms are always the same: → Dashboards that don't agree with each other → Ownership nobody can actually point to → Governance frameworks that look good in a deck but don't change how a single decision gets made And then leadership asks: "Why should we invest in this?" I've spent 12+ years inside this problem advising senior data teams at Gartner, Capgemini, and KPMG. I've seen what works and what doesn't. Most data problems are not technology problems. They're ownership problems. One metric. One owner. One decision. That beats any tool. Today I run Northridge Analytics. I help CDOs, Heads of Data, and governance teams build the practical foundations that make AI and analytics actually deliver starting with who owns what, how decisions get made, and why governance needs to sit inside operations, not beside them. → If you're a CDO or data leader wondering whether your foundations can support what's being promised I run a 30-minute Data Foundations AI Readiness Reality Check. No pitch. No tooling sales. Just an honest read on where you stand and what to fix first. I take a handful of these each month. DM me if you'd like one.

Northridge Analytics is a data governance consulting practice that helps CDOs and Heads of Data fix the decisions that are blocking their analytics and AI roadmaps. We work with mid-sized organisations where governance exists on paper but isn't working in practice where metrics lack clear ownership, definitions conflict, and teams can't move forward because no one agrees on the numbers. We don't do multi-year transformation programmes. We come in, fix what's broken, and hand you a model you can run without us.
