DATA & AI FOUNDRY
Practical Data & AI Governance for Growing Companies
Helping founders and data leaders build the data, analytics, and AI foundations their next stage of growth depends on, without the enterprise overhead.
ABOUTData & AI Governance Gap is Real, and it's Growing
Most data and AI governance guidance is built for one of two extremes. The Fortune 500 with a dedicated governance team and a seven-figure consulting budget, or the side project hobbyist looking for their first dashboard.
The companies in the middle, the ones doing real revenue with lean teams, get left behind.
The frameworks are too heavy.
The courses are too light.
The consultants are too expensive.
Data & AI Foundry exists to close that gap. Everything here is field-tested guidance for the operators actually doing the work, sized for how growing companies actually run.

FOR DATA LEADERSData & AI Governance

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Enterprise Expertise.
Sized for Growing Companies.
I'm Yinka Adegbusi. I've spent years inside Big 4 environments building the data and AI governance frameworks that large organizations rely on. I've also seen how unnecessarily complex that work gets when it's applied to companies that don't need enterprise scale yet.
The Data & AI Foundry takes what works at the top of the market and translates it for the operators actually building the next wave of growth-stage companies.
