Peer Support for Data Leaders

You don't have to figure it all out alone

Practical guidance from someone who's sat in your chair.

Leading data is hard. You're expected to have answers about strategy, technology, team building, and stakeholder management — often without anyone to bounce ideas off. I offer confidential, practical support for data leaders who want a trusted sounding board. No corporate process, no junior teams, just direct conversation with someone who understands the reality of the role.

This is for you if

You're a data leader without a data leader

  • You're the first data hire, or leading a small team without peers at your level
  • You report to someone who doesn't have a data background
  • You need to make strategic decisions but lack someone to sanity-check them with
  • You're navigating organisational politics and could use an outside perspective
  • You want to grow into a more senior role but aren't sure what that looks like

Things we might work through together

Making the right call

Working through strategy, platform, and investment decisions before they become expensive mistakes.

Managing up and across

Handling executive expectations, competing priorities, and the pressure to promise more than the foundations can support.

Building the team

Figuring out roles, structure, hiring priorities, and how to scale without creating chaos.

Navigating your next step

Stepping into a bigger leadership role, building confidence, or sense-checking what good really looks like at your level.

Peer support, not consultancy

This is different from my company work. It's personal, informal, and focused on you as a leader rather than your organisation's objectives.

No reporting, no deliverables

We don't produce slide decks or strategy documents. The value is in the thinking and conversation, not outputs for your board.

I've been where you are

I've led data teams, dealt with impossible stakeholders, and questioned whether I was doing a good job. That lived experience shapes how I support you.

Completely confidential

I don't disclose who I work with in this capacity. You can be open about challenges without worrying about reputational risk.

Practical over theoretical

We'll talk about what you can actually do on Monday morning, not abstract frameworks. Real advice for real situations.

Sound like what you need?

Start with a free 30-minute conversation. No obligation, no sales pitch — just a chance to see if this is the right fit for where you are.
