About GordonData

Specialist Data & AI consulting for government, health, legal, and community

GordonData was founded by Gordon, a Data & AI practitioner with 20+ years of delivery experience across Government, health, legal, and community.

Most data consultants come from the outside โ€” they learn your sector on the job, on your budget, on your time. Gordon built his career inside government, health, legal, and community, delivering enterprise data platforms, governance frameworks, and AI solutions from within. He has presented data strategy to government boards and Deputy Secretaries. He has automated statutory reporting for ministerial offices. He has deployed AI in legally sensitive environments where data handling has real consequences.

That insider knowledge is what GordonData brings to every engagement. We don't need six months to understand your world. We arrive already knowing the constraints, the culture, and what actually gets implemented.

A Specialist Practice, Not a Large Firm

That means senior practitioner involvement on every engagement โ€” not a junior team executing templates. Engagements are taken selectively to ensure quality and focus.
