What it looks like when data leaders get the conditions they need, and what their organizations gained as a result.
Customer Stories
Every story here started the same way. A data leader with the right strategy, doing accurate work, running out of standing to keep doing it. Here's what happened when the conditions got built from the outside.
Credit Union
Initiated by VP of Data Governance
Data governance felt abstract. Stakeholders couldn't see where they fit or whether anything was moving.
DataWorkbench gave the team a live window into the program: what was being done, how it connected to use cases, and how the program had matured over time.
"Like all data leaders, I'm challenged to effectively share the 'data problem' and build stakeholder alignment. Every team sees data from their own perspective, and aligning those views is the real work."
Jennifer Flexer, VP Data Governance, CEFCU
Professional Services
Initiated by Global Head of Technology
Account managers spending 40% of their time pulling reports. $2.5 million per year in lost productivity with no data strategy in sight.
XenoDATA tied data strategy to business value for the first time, secured executive buy-in, and projected a seven-figure EBITDA uplift.
"XenoDATA gave Williams Lea an incredible data roadmap to solve our most complex, global data issues."
Nick Morgan, Global Head of Technology, Williams Lea Tag
CPG / Food & Beverage
Initiated by Global VP, Business Excellence & Process Transformation
A talented data leader with the right strategy. Every attempt to build cross-functional alignment cost political capital. Traction was impossible without an outside party who could hold the room without the cost.
XenoDATA built the conditions. The leader succeeded. Millions in improvements identified and directly attributed to better data management.
"Identified millions of dollars of improvements directly attributed to improved data management."
Paulo Santiago, Senior Director, Enterprise Data & Transformation, Kraft Heinz
Initiated by CFO
Inconsistent financial metrics derailing leadership meetings. Every session became a debate about whose numbers were right.
Built a common metric framework. Meetings shifted from defending data to acting on it.
"Before we had a common framework, every leadership meeting started with a debate about whose numbers were right. XenoDATA gave us the foundation to skip that entirely."
Deepesh Saini, SVP Technical Product Management, Accurate Background
Initiated by Global VP of Management Systems
Global enterprise with data capabilities spread across regions. No unified approach to governance or use case delivery.
XenoDATA built the structure for cross-regional alignment and helped the data leader establish traction across a matrixed organization.
"Our People data was inconsistent across every region. XenoDATA gave us a shared language and the structure to enforce it. For the first time, our teams across 50 countries were working from the same foundation."
Rodrigo Sabato, Global Director People Projects, AB InBev
Insurance
Initiated by Founder & Managing Partner
250+ emails and 20+ manual steps per deal. No shared view of where anything stood.
XenoDATA built The RW Exchange, a platform that replaced the entire workflow. Deal times dropped from 10 days to 4.
"XenoDATA's ability to understand business concepts, and the strategic leverage behind them, quickly helped us translate a complex, manual problem to a useable, workable technology delivery platform."
Kirk Sanderson, Managing Partner, M&A Insurance Solutions
Food Manufacturing
Initiated by Senior Director, Data & Technology
TJ Polak was doing the right things for the organization. He wasn't sure anyone else could see it. The data team was disconnected from business value and had no mechanism to make their work visible to the people who needed to act on it.
Within the first months of the engagement, the team was having better conversations with the business and getting involved in strategic initiatives earlier.
"Like most data leaders, I felt like I had a huge weight on my chest. We weren't managing our priorities well, and our work was disconnected from business value. For the first time, I see the light and don't feel completely overwhelmed."
TJ Polak, Senior Director of Data & Technology, Blount Fine Foods
The workshop is free. No long-term commitment required.
