Perigee LLC began with a simple mission: cut through the noise in your data landscape and deliver measurable results. Richard Muirhead, our founder, has spent over forty years untangling complex data challenges at IBM, crafting the earliest iterations of DB2 and the Galileo Flight Reservation System, and advising CDOs at some of the world’s largest banks, insurers, and retailers. He’s not just a theorist—he’s a former IBM Distinguished Engineer and Open Group–certified architect who’s seen every governance trap and knows how to avoid it.

Here’s what that means for you: when we step in, we start by mapping your data estate—identifying key systems, data owners, and quality gaps—and turn that into a prioritized plan with clear milestones. We set up hands-on governance processes, assign actionable roles, and establish KPIs you can track weekly. If you need a data strategy overhaul, we’ll deliver a roadmap that ties every initiative back to revenue, risk reduction, or cost savings. If you face regulatory hurdles, we’ll embed compliance checks into your daily operations, not just tuck them in a policy binder.

And when your organization needs leadership but not a full-time hire, our Fractional CDO service steps in. Richard himself or one of our senior practitioners will slot into your executive team, drive your data agenda, and mentor your people, all while keeping overhead lean. You’ll get experience at CDO level, zero fluff, and a relentless focus on execution.

Ready to stop talking governance and start living it? Let’s build a data operation that works—for today and tomorrow.
