The Opportunity

Most scale-ups struggle with the gap between business ambitions and data reality. Executive teams want insights. Engineering teams build solutions. But without strategic alignment, both efforts fall short.

Bridging that gap is what unlocks real value.

About Jon Gebhardt

I've spent 25 years building data platforms and leading analytics teams across Oceania and Europe. From government systems serving millions to enterprise scale-ups, I've seen what works and what doesn't.

My approach is different: I start with business objectives, assess your team's capabilities, then recommend technology that fits both. No vendor pitches. No cookie-cutter solutions. Just strategic guidance grounded in reality.

Selected Experience:

  • Executive Director, NSW Department of Justice (Sydney, Australia)
  • Director of Data Analytics and Data Engineering, Diconium (Munich, Germany)
  • Practice Lead, EdgeRed (Sydney, Australia)
