Partner and Co-Founder
Jill Dyché is an acknowledged speaker, author, and blogger on the topic of aligning IT with business solutions. As the Vice President of Thought Leadership for SAS, she speaks, writes, and blogs about the business value of analytics and information.
Prior to being acquired by SAS subsidiary DataFlux in 2011, Jill was a partner and co-founder of Baseline Consulting, where she combined the roles of best-practice expert, industry gadfly, key client advisor, and all-around thought leader. At both firms, she has led client strategies and market analysis in the areas of data governance, business intelligence, master data management, CRM, and big data.
Jill has counseled executive teams and boards of directors on the strategic importance of their information investments. She believes that Def Leppard, mixed-breed dogs, and the show Taxicab Confessions are all terribly underrated. She is certain that no one has made an edible cabbage roll since her mother died.
