Data Whisperer MetaMeta Consulting

Scott Taylor, known as The Data Whisperer, helps organizations recognize the strategic value of proper data management. He focuses on business alignment and the “strategic WHY” rather than the “technical HOW.”

Suffering from a “fear of NOT public speaking,” Scott is a seasoned presenter who brings energy and insight to topics like data management, governance, and emerging technologies. Widely recognized as “one of the most dynamic and entertaining voices in the data space,” he has worked globally with event producers, media outlets, associations, and enterprises to deliver keynotes and content.

Scott is also the creator of Data Puppets, a cast of hilariously relatable characters navigating the chaos of enterprise data. From the CDO (Chief Dog Officer) to the IT Bee, CAT-sultant, and Fairy Governance Mother, these personas, voiced by data thought leaders in a Simpsons-style approach, bring humor and clarity to complex data issues.

His accolades include: 4X DataIQ 100, CDO Magazine Leading Data Consultant, Dataversity Top 10 Blogger. His book, Telling Your Data Story: Data Storytelling for Data Management, is available now.

Based in Bridgeport, CT, Scott enjoys kayaking in Black Rock Harbor. He can also juggle pins and blow a square bubble.
