Data & AI Organization Design
Helped design the structure and operating model for a ~40-person data & AI organization — five functions spanning strategic analytics & data science, portfolio & project management, data strategy & governance, data product & platform engineering, and automation.
The challenge
Separate data teams with divergent tooling, standards, and reporting lines — and no shared operating model.
The design
I helped design the structure and operating model for a single ~40-person organization, built around five functions:
- Strategic Analytics & Data Science
- Portfolio & Project Management
- Data Strategy & Governance
- Data Product & Platform Engineering
- Automation
…each with clear ownership, shared standards, and a common governance framework. The consolidated org reported up to the Chief Data & AI Officer.
Why it matters
Org design at scale: helping shape how ~40 people would work, not just the platform they work on — the move that set up the enterprise’s AI expansion.
