Data Strategy & Assessment
Stakeholder interviews across your organization, mapped into a clear picture of how data is generated, stored, secured, and used. You own the resulting plan.
Who we are
You don't have a data problem.
You have a coherence problem.
A tool here, an analyst there, one heroic spreadsheet holding it all together — that doesn't add up to a strategy. Wilbur Dekum helps small to midsize companies and non-profits replace piecemeal efforts with a coherent data foundation you can actually build on. Using data effectively is no longer an advantage. It's a requirement.
What we do
Capabilities
Every engagement starts with an assessment of how data moves through your organization.
02
Infrastructure & Platform
Pragmatic recommendations for pipelines, warehousing, and architecture. Built for the problem in front of you, not the hype cycle.
03
Analytics & Tooling
BI tools, integrations, and the modern data stack, surfacing the metrics and KPIs that actually inform decisions.
04
Staffing & Teams
Re-org and hiring recommendations, role definitions, and support. That includes telling you when the right move is a full-time hire instead of us.
05
Process & Governance
Workflows, program management, and data governance: the quiet foundation every trusted metric depends on.
06
Investigation & Due Diligence
For data-heavy companies and acquirers. We untangle software, product, and data to surface insights, fix incoherent reporting, or support M&A decisions.
How we think
A point of view, not a playbook.
Good data work is less about technology and more about coherence. Every piece connected, from how data is created to how a decision gets made.
I.Coherence over piecemeal
An analyst without infrastructure. A warehouse without governance. Partial fixes fail, so we treat data as one connected system, end to end.
II.A requirement, not a luxury
Every organization is now expected to run on data. We're the catch-up path for teams who can't pause the business to build the foundation needed.
III.The plan is yours
Assessment first, always. You get the map whether or not you want us to walk it. And we'll say so when the right answer is hiring someone instead.
IV.Every altitude
Strategic and tactical, weeds to clouds. Comfortable with your board decks and your git repos.
How we work
Engagement model
A clear path from first conversation to lasting capabilities.
01
Assess
Two to six weeks of interviews across every relevant function. Each conversation shapes the next, until we hold a picture of your entire data landscape.
02
Plan
A detailed, staged operational plan covering infrastructure, tooling, staffing, metrics, and process. Practical and specific.
03
Build
The plan is yours. Implement it in-house, use it as a hiring roadmap, or engage us for the work that fits your budget and timeline.
04
Lead
Fractional data leadership on a monthly, days-per-week basis. We work with your team and bring in trusted engineers and data scientists when the work calls for it.
Who's behind this
Senior expertise, flexible team.
Wilbur Dekum is the practice of Brett Clark Wejrowski, drawing on two decades of engineering, product, and data leadership building teams, products, and companies from the ground up. Core strategy is handled personally; when engagements call for deeper build-out, a trusted bench of contract engineers and data scientists joins the effort.
