About Valiotti Data
Data leadership without the full-time price tag
Founded by Nick Valiotti, we're a specialized data consultancy that embeds senior data leaders directly into growing companies. Not as outsiders. As your team.
Meet Nick Valiotti
17+ years in data strategy, analytics engineering, and executive leadership. I've built data functions at 50+ companies — from $3M startups to $100M enterprises across SaaS, FinTech, eCommerce, and marketplaces.
Before consulting, I spent nearly a decade as an in-house data leader — from analyst to CDO — in fast-growing tech, e-commerce, and telecom products with multi-million user bases.
Among our clients: Worldcoin (by Sam Altman), Wing, Aircall, and 50+ other companies across 8 industries.
I hold a PhD in Computer Science, with a dissertation on neural network architectures for business metrics evaluation, and a Master's in Analytics from Georgia Institute of Technology (OMSA program) — combining academic rigor with hands-on industry experience.
In 2019 I founded Valiotti Analytics after seeing the same pattern at every company: smart people making bad decisions because they couldn't trust their data. Now I serve as a Fractional CDO — helping companies align teams on metrics, build trustworthy data infrastructure, and transfer full ownership back to their teams.
I'm also the author of “Your Fractional CDO” (available on Amazon), a mentor on GrowthMentor, and an active voice on LinkedIn writing about data strategy and the Fractional CDO model.
Beyond consulting, Nick mentors senior data professionals transitioning to fractional leadership through the Data Leader Accelerator — a 6-month 1-on-1 program.
Senior specialists, not juniors
Every engagement is led by Nick personally. Supporting the work is a curated team of senior specialists — each with 8+ years of hands-on experience.
Analytics Engineers
dbt, SQL, Snowflake, BigQuery. They build the data models and pipelines that make your metrics reliable.
BI & Visualization
Looker, Tableau, Metabase, Power BI. Dashboards that people actually use — not shelf-ware.
Data Scientists
Predictive models, cohort analysis, experimentation design. When you need to go beyond descriptive analytics.
Project Management
Stakeholder coordination, sprint planning, delivery tracking. So you always know where things stand.
Team scales with your needs. You only pay for what you use — no bench costs, no overhead.
