AI-ready data foundations · Identity · Transformation
Data Ingenuity Group is an independent data advisory and executive leadership firm. AI is only as good as the data under it. We build the trusted, governed foundation that moves AI and analytics out of pilots and into production: enterprise identity, governance, modern data platforms, and the executive leadership to make it stick.

How we work
Senior consulting and interim or fractional executive leadership, led personally by a former enterprise data executive.
We are platform-neutral. We work in the stack you have, or help you choose the right one: Snowflake, dbt, Salesforce Data Cloud, CDPs, identity graphs, and MDM platforms.
In your data, with your teams and partners. Remote-first from Denver, on site for workshops, executive sessions, and key milestones.
Fixed-scope assessments, scoped delivery programs, and monthly fractional or interim retainers.

Services
Engagements are scoped to a business outcome, sized to your team, and led by Todd Hinton from the first conversation to the final handoff.
Get your data ready for the AI use cases the business is counting on: trusted, governed, and grounded in the right customer, member, or patient.
Why identity matters for AI →Experienced executive leadership when you need to stabilize a data function, accelerate a transformation, bridge a leadership transition, or decide the right long-term operating model.
A data strategy the business funds, a governance model people follow, and a platform that serves both.
One trusted view of every customer, member, or patient, from postal address to mobile device, so reporting, activation, and AI all start from the same answer.
Turn unified customer data into campaigns, journeys, and measurable revenue.
Approach
Every engagement follows the same arc, so you always know where we are and what you get at each step.
Stakeholder interviews, system and data profiling, and a candid read on what is working and what is not.
Target architecture, operating model, vendor choices, and a roadmap tied to business value.
Lead or oversee implementation with your teams and partners, and measure results against a baseline.
Ownership, stewardship, and runbooks handed to your people, so the program keeps going after we step back.
Selected results
Proven at enterprise scale. Delivered by the executive who leads your engagement.
About
Todd has spent more than two decades on every side of enterprise data: founding a data company, building identity and MDM solutions for Fortune 100 clients at a software vendor, and leading data organizations as an operator.
Most recently he was VP of Data & AI at Teladoc Health, where he led enterprise data strategy, architecture, and governance, delivered the company's first unified member profile, and led its Salesforce Data Cloud implementation. Before that, as EVP at Freedom Mortgage, he built and ran a global data organization of more than 100 people.
Data Ingenuity Group brings the perspective of an executive who has built, led, and transformed enterprise data organizations, not simply advised them. We pair strategic judgment with hands-on execution to help leadership teams solve hard data problems and deliver results that last.
