Kerry Dano

Kerry works with senior leadership teams to shape how data, analytics, and information management support real decision-making. His strategy, planning, and transformation work helps executives define a clear vision — and build the capabilities required to sustain it over time.

He guides organizations in the appropriate adoption of research methods, informatics, and analytics, ensuring that technology investments translate into practical business value. Kerry delivers these capabilities through vision maps, journey maps, and comprehensive transformation plans — reinforced by analytical dashboards, scorecards, and KPIs designed to deliver value well beyond initial implementation.

Kerry brings deep expertise across information management, business analytics, and data curation, embedding directly with teams as both a functional and technical subject matter expert. He develops information management roadmaps, establishes governance and stewardship models, and aligns data architecture and tooling to business objectives — not the other way around.

Known for his hands-on, embedded approach, Kerry helps organizations move from fragmented analytics efforts to disciplined, scalable decision infrastructures. His work ensures that insight is not episodic, but repeatable — supporting better decisions in perpetuity.

At Purple Koru, Kerry’s expertise anchors the firm’s ability to turn complex data into executive clarity, directly informing analytical engines and platforms such as Compare IQ, where defensible insight and long-term relevance are essential.

Kerry is based in St. Petersburg, Florida.
