Data Governance & IT Talent Recruiting
Data Governance & IT Talent, Vetted by a Practitioner
Thornevale Group finds data governance, data quality, and IT professionals for companies of every size, government agencies, and prime contractors. Every candidate is screened by someone who has built governance programs, not just read job descriptions.
Why Thornevale
Recruited by Someone Who Has Done the Work
Most recruiters match keywords on a résumé. Our founder, Lucas Honore, spent 10 years building and running data governance programs before founding Thornevale Group. He knows what a strong data steward, data quality analyst, or governance lead looks like on the job, and he knows which questions expose a weak one.
10 years in data governance
Data governance work at Silicon Valley Bank, BNP Paribas, and Johnson & Johnson.
Certified in security and delivery
CISM, PSM, and Security+ certifications.
Hands-on platform experience
Microsoft Purview, Collibra, and Informatica administration.
The result: fewer résumés to sort through, and candidates who can do the work on day one.
