Kelle O’Neal has played important roles in many of the ground-breaking initiatives that confirm the value of harnessing information within the enterprise. A veteran leader and accomplished advisor in the information management sector, as well as a speaker and an author, Kelle is passionate about helping organizations apply data and intelligence to gain a true competitive advantage.

Having worked with some of the key software and systems providers key to the formulation of Master Data Management (MDM), Kelle recognized an unmet need for clear guidance and advice on the intricacies of designing and implementing MDM solutions and founded First San Francisco Partners in early 2007. Under her leadership, First San Francisco Partners immediately established a reputation as the first-call resource for companies looking to tap the value of Enterprise Information Management (EIM), MDM and Data Governance.

Kelle developed her ability to work through organizational complexity, build consensus and drive results in senior roles at companies including Siperian, GoldenGate Software, Siebel Systems and Oracle and has worked at the executive level in the US, Europe and Asia. Kelle’s strong background in customer relationship management, enterprise software and systems integration enables her to provide expert counsel to any organization seeking to execute an EIM, MDM or Data Governance project.

Kelle earned her BA from Duke University and holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
