Philip O'donnell is a principal data and AI leader with nearly two decades at the intersection of data engineering, analytics and product-driven AI, most recently building and scaling a global Databricks lakehouse platform for The Adecco Group. He combines hands-on platform engineering—having personally coded and expanded a system ingesting 500+ systems across 60+ countries—with strategic leadership that turned data estates into reusable data products and AI services like a Career Copilot built with Microsoft. Philip has repeatedly moved organizations from slow, report-driven cultures to product-oriented, self-serve analytics with measurable impacts (including a 15% lift from an AI coaching product), and he knows both the technical plumbing and the governance, economics and incentives that make data useful. As an independent consultant he translates messy enterprise data into semantic models, LLM-augmented analytics and pragmatic roadmaps that accelerate adoption and reduce time-to-value. Based in Jacksonville, he blends entrepreneurial roots (a founder who processed over $1M on AWS) with enterprise-scale delivery across cloud, metadata, governance and modern ML toolchains.
