Summary
Javier Cruz is a multidisciplinary Chief Data Officer with 12 years of experience blending design, interactive technology, and data science to build pragmatic, user-focused data systems. At DrumWave he leads the Value Schema System (VSS), a novel framework that applies ontologies, OWL standards, and semantic web techniques to solve data standardization, ownership, sovereignty, and interoperability challenges. His career began in industrial and exhibit design—creating interactive museum experiences—which informs a unique product sensibility that balances creativity with rigorous technical architecture. He has led teams to turn complex data governance and monetization concepts into certified, consumable endpoints for business use. Javier pairs executive-level product management with hands-on prototyping and a history of open-source and physical computing work, making him comfortable across both conceptual frameworks and implementation details. Based in São Paulo, he brings a rare combination of design-led thinking and formal data-science training from UC Berkeley to drive trusted digital ecosystems.
