Advisory Board Spotlight - Barry Green

We are delighted to welcome Barry Green to the BearingNode Advisory Board. Barry joins us at an important and exciting stage in BearingNode's growth. As we continue to build a global consulting firm focused on improving the performance of data and analytics organisations, it matters deeply to us that we are supported by people whose experience and perspective genuinely strengthen our mission. Barry is exactly that kind of person.

A depth of experience aligned to today's challenge

Barry brings extensive experience across data, analytics, technology leadership, and business transformation. He has spent his career helping organisations connect strategic ambition with practical execution — working across complex enterprise environments to shape data strategy, modernise platforms and operating models, and create stronger alignment between business priorities and technology delivery.

He is also the co-author of Data Means Business — a respected and widely read guide to building data capability that creates genuine commercial value. It is a book that reflects the kind of thinking BearingNode was built on: practical, commercially grounded, and unafraid to challenge received wisdom.

Barry is a respected voice on building more adaptable, high-performing data and analytics organisations. That perspective is closely aligned with BearingNode's own mission — and it is exactly the kind of challenge and counsel we want around the table as we grow.

Why this matters for BearingNode

BearingNode exists to help large enterprises — particularly those operating in regulated and complex environments — treat data, information, and AI as genuine strategic assets.

That is not a simple undertaking. It requires deep technical knowledge, sharp commercial judgement, and the ability to navigate the organisational dynamics that so often determine whether a data programme succeeds or stalls.

Barry has done this at scale. His track record of aligning business priorities with technology execution, and his understanding of what it takes to build truly adaptable data organisations, brings a dimension of experience to our Advisory Board that will directly benefit our clients and our thinking.

Whole-Body Thinking and the Age of AI

Barry's most recent writing reflects a perspective that resonates strongly with BearingNode's own approach to data and decision-making.

In his latest article — Whole-Body Thinking in the Age of AI — Barry argues that better decisions do not come from more dashboards, faster AI, or bigger datasets alone. They come from combining trustworthy, well-governed information with diverse human perspectives, ethical judgement, and disciplined use of AI.

It is a view we share entirely.

At BearingNode, we believe that the organisations which will thrive in the AI era are not those with the most data — but those with the best judgement, and the organisational conditions that make good judgement possible. Barry's thinking, experience, and values are directly aligned with that belief.

Welcome to BearingNode, Barry

Barry's perspective, experience, and values are strongly aligned with BearingNode's mission. We are genuinely thrilled to welcome him to the Advisory Board and look forward to working with him as BearingNode continues to grow.

Welcome, Barry.
