JP Montgomery, CEO/CFO & Founder

JP’s experience in strategic leadership in both private and public organizations drives maximum value and ROI using the truth of data. JP advises businesses and organizations transform data into its greatest asset through not only the use of data, but also by utilizing the knowledge and wisdom of the business. The best decisions lie somewhere between data analysis and intuition, not one or the other. We become a true strategic partner to the organizations and businesses we have the pleasure to serve.
