About Heather Meyer 

Heather Meyer is the founder and principal of H. Meyer Data Consulting, serving as a fractional Director of Data Readiness & Enablement for organizations navigating major technology transformations. With nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare, technology, and enterprise environments, Heather specializes in de-risking complex migrations, system consolidations, and AI initiatives by building robust data foundations and executive intelligence tools that drive confident decision-making.

Heather has led large-scale programs for organizations with 2,000 to 50,000+ users, managing multi-workstream initiatives across identity, collaboration, endpoint, and voice technologies. Her work includes building analytics pipelines that integrated multiple data sources, codifying readiness rules and exception taxonomies, and delivering executive dashboards that drove 99%+ completion rates and shortened post-go-live stabilization windows.

Her earlier work in healthcare analytics—including HEDIS reporting, claims and clinical data integration, and regulatory compliance—gave her a deep foundation in data quality, governance, and audit-ready execution.

Heather partners with CIOs, CDOs, and transformation leaders in regulated industries who need senior data leadership without a full-time hire. Whether standing up a data readiness diagnostic before a major migration, building the canonical dataset and governance model for an AI deployment, or providing ongoing fractional leadership through a high-stakes program, she brings the rare combination of technical depth and executive communication that turns data chaos into delivery predictability.

Heather holds a B.S. in Computer Information Systems from DeVry University and is based in the Chicago area.
