Data Accelerated

Empower People. Unlock Data. Accelerate Results.

Our Ethos

Organizations continue to struggle to maximize the value of their data — even as big data, analytics platforms, and AI technology advance at breakneck speed. Over my 25 years of data analytics experience partnering with some of the world’s largest companies, I’ve learned that the biggest challenge has never been technology - it’s the enablement of a company’s most critical asset: its people.

Data Accelerated was founded on this premise. We develop solutions anchored in best-in-class experience design, leadership development, and behavioral analytics - ensuring seamless integration into your operations and sustained engagement that actually drives performance.

Data and AI are no longer the future — they are the present. But their potential is only unlocked when people know how to use them with confidence, clarity, and purpose. That’s why we build human-centered systems that combine behavioral insight with AI-powered enablement.

Leading organizations will be those that invest in their culture and their people. Data Accelerated helps you get there — at speed.

Our Enablement Ecosystem

Organizations don’t fail at analytics because they lack dashboards or AI — they fail because they lack an ecosystem that connects people, culture, learning, and performance.

All of our offerings are supported by our deep expertise in data strategy, BI/AI development, and learning analytics — but always in service of empowering people. We bring modern BI, embedded analytics, and AI tools into learning and culture in human-centered ways. Because at the end of the day, it’s not dashboards or models that drive results. It’s people who know how to use them — and feel empowered to act.

They include solutions developed in partnership with The Regis Company, where I served as Chief Analytics Officer and Experiential Design Product Manager, and where my current partner, Mike Kester, served as Co-CEO for over a decade — as well as more recent programs developed directly through Data Accelerated.
