The work

Turning institutional strategy into governed, decision-ready data — and the disciplines that surround it.

Kyle Wisniewski

Denver-based, I work at the intersection of data, finance, and writing — building the systems that make an institution legible to itself, the venture that does the same for companies, and a press that thinks in public.

The mandate

I am the Data Governance Lead for the dean’s office of the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. My charge is deceptively simple: connect the college’s ten-year strategic plan — Elevate 2035 — to the data that should prove it, and make that data trustworthy enough to govern by.

In practice, that means reconciling the many systems a university runs on — records, advancement, faculty activity, survey, accreditation — into a single governed core, defining each metric once, and surfacing it where decisions are actually made: executive dashboards for leadership, and individual views for faculty and staff.

Find the signal, define it once, and put it where a decision gets made.

It is the same instinct in every medium I work in — an institution’s data, a venture’s P&L, a portfolio, or a page.

How I work

01

One source of truth

Reconcile scattered systems into a governed core. No metric defined twice; no quiet disagreements between reports.

02

Decision at the edge

Intelligence delivered where the choice is actually made — not buried three clicks deep in a report nobody opens.

03

Governed, not gated

Classification, lineage, and sensible access that build trust without slowing good people down.

04

Built to ship

Working software and live dashboards — not slideware. The proof is something you can open and use.

Capabilities

I

Data strategy & governance

Uniting strategic plans with the data sources that should inform them; one governed core, every metric defined once.

II

Decision intelligence

Executive and individual dashboards that make the right number impossible to miss.

III

Applied AI

Private, cited-source AI put to work on real institutional and business questions.

IV

Quant finance & markets

Applied quantitative finance and disciplined judgment under uncertainty.
