Summary
Greg Jordan-detamore is a civic technologist and senior consultant with 11 years of experience helping cities, governments, and civic organizations make data and services more human-centered and accountable. He has led open data and product strategy at Sunlight Foundation and What Works Cities, and most recently serves as Open Cities Product Lead at Nava while running a thoughtful newsletter, Civic Insighter. Greg blends user research, design, and technical fluency—working on open data platforms, procurement analysis, and interactive web resources—to translate complex government systems into useful public-facing tools. He has led trainings and workshops internationally (including Nepal) and managed certification and open-data programs across Latin America, showing a knack for scaling playbooks across cultures and institutions. Comfortable both directing strategy and shipping tactical solutions, he also mentors teams and builds reproducible resources so governments can sustain improvements independently.
