Cher Fox

Cher Fox

I’m a data leader who’s been wrangling the data puzzle for over 35 years - & I still haven’t lost a piece. I help organizations get ahead of the chaos by defining & optimizing processes, governance, quality, & intelligence - solving those frustrating “why doesn’t this report make sense?” moments before they happen.​​

With decades of deep practitioner know-how, I craft secure strategic roadmaps that tackle global companies’ most complex challenges in analytics, data, data science, marketing, AI, & ML - without the buzzword bingo.​​

I also advise senior leaders on how to squeeze more value from the tech they already own (yes, even that clunky system no one wants to touch), helping them make confident, data-driven decisions while saving time, money, & a few headaches on support & maintenance.​

I’ve worn many corporate hats - CDO of a data strategy firm, COO of a real estate development company, CEO/CMO of a national marketing agency, CFO of a regional construction firm, IT Manager for a national risk management company, & Customer Service Manager for an international software company.

So whether it’s data, dollars, dirt, or delivery, I’ve been there.

I'm fluent in data delivery via SQL server tables, stored procedures, views, SSIS packages, SSAS tabular models, Oracle Toad, & SAP Universes. My specialties for BI delivery are SSRS, Power BI, Tableau, SAP Business Objects & Crystal Reports.

Innovation & Transformation need Expertise & Courage!
National and international markets, companies at all sizes and in all industries, our
world of work is in a permanent state of transformation. The increasing dynamic demands
a high degree of flexibility from us, our teams, managers and organizations.
Buzzwords such as OKR, Design Thinking, AI and New Work have become part of our
vocabulary when it comes to the design of strategy processes and decision-making
structures. But do we all know exactly what we are talking about? Do we have enough time
to deal with the individual options before we have to make a decision?
We often take risks in the process. Conclusion: Today's working world requires courage.
It takes courage(h) to actively develop it!
I am Kristina Muth - transformation designer, expert for innovative strategy
work, OKR expert, business coach, workshop professional & courage maker. I am the one,
who dares to break new ground with you, tailored to what you and your teams
need to be successful on the market.
