John Giles is an independent consultant, with a passion for seeing ideas taken to fruition. Commencing in IT in the late 1960s as a developer, the last few decades have focussed on data modelling, from the project level through to the enterprise level. Data integration has been an increasing focus of his clients, leading to quality-at-speed delivery of "Data Town Plans" to something like 20 organisations. While John is primarily a practitioner, his pragmatic focus is backed up by a solid appreciation of the underlying theory, having presented internationally, and published widely, including in his three books, the latest being "The Data Elephant in the Board Room: Driving Data Integration from the Enterprise-wide Data Town Plan".
