Hi, I'm Ty Ketchum

I help data leaders turn technology investments into actual change.

Strategy Lead at InterWorks. I work with Fortune 500 leaders to build consensus, align stakeholders, and make sure data initiatives deliver real outcomes.

The problem with most data initiatives

Great technology. Smart people. And somehow, nothing changes. Usually because stakeholders aren't aligned, priorities are unclear, and nobody's having the hard conversations. I help surface what's actually going on and build the consensus needed to move forward.

What I actually do

Discovery & Advising

I lead scoping calls that surface what others miss. Technical gaps, business process issues, unstated assumptions. I advise leaders on hard decisions and help them think through what's actually possible.

Relationships That Last

I build client relationships that turn one-off projects into long-term partnerships. I speak both languages: fluent in Snowflake, Databricks, and Fabric, and equally fluent in boardroom conversations.

Leadership in Chaos

Leadership transitions, stalled initiatives, misaligned stakeholders. I keep things moving when organizations are in flux and help teams find a path forward.

How I work

I partner with technical teams (architects, engineers, analysts) to drive outcomes. I can do the technical work, and I also bring the facilitation, alignment, and follow-through that makes sure the work actually lands.

Run discovery that matters

I lead scoping calls that surface technical gaps, business process issues, and unstated assumptions. Architects get what they need to build the right thing.

Build consensus

Alignment doesn't happen by accident. I facilitate the conversations that get people on the same page.

Keep things moving

Projects stall when decisions don't get made. I help teams unstick and maintain momentum.

Make sure it sticks

A successful project gets adopted, not just delivered. I focus on outcomes, not just outputs.

Let's have a conversation

Whether you're stuck on a decision, struggling with alignment, or trying to figure out why your last initiative didn't land. I'm happy to talk it through.
