Cher Fox
Founder, President & Chief Data Officer
I'm a data leader that's been solving the data puzzle for over 35 years. I advise organizations to proactively define & optimize processes, governance, quality & intelligence, to resolve their most painful data insight issues. My decades of deep practitioner experience craft & execute secure strategic roadmaps for global companies' complex analytics, data, data science, marketing, AI & ML solutions. I also guide senior leaders on confidently leveraging their existing hardware & software assets to overcome their technology challenges, facilitating better experiences in making data-driven business decisions while also resulting in significant time & money savings on maintenance & support.
I've held the corporate positions of CDO for a data strategy consultancy, COO for a real estate development firm, CEO for a national marketing agency, CFO for a regional construction firm, IT Manager for a national risk management company, & Customer Services Manager for an international software development group.
I formerly served as VP of Marketing on the Data Management Association (DAMA) - Rocky Mountain Chapter board & as Event Director for the Colorado Chapter of The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) board. I contribute to Women in Technology (WiT), Women in Data (WiD), Society for Information Management (SIM), Colorado Technology Association (CTA), & data/SQL chapters & groups.
I hold the DAMA International certification Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) at the Practitioner's Level & am recognized internationally, having spoken at 40+ events/conferences about Data: Engineering, Governance, Privacy, Quality, Security, Stewardship, Strategy & Trust, as well as Agile Enablement, Information Security, LinkedIn & Test Automation.
I also exhibit meticulous discipline in my personal life as a fitness model & amateur competitive bodybuilder in the figure division, & I enjoy competing in spartan races & tough mudders. My love of fitness & living a healthy lifestyle was previously demonstrated as a professional dancer & an international lifestyle brand spokesmodel.
