About

Josh Andrews

Principal · Dorian Insights

For two decades I've worked with leaders who felt buried by their own data — inside Fortune 500 organizations and at Tier 1 consulting firms — and helped them come out the other side with something simpler: clear answers they trust. Dorian Insights is how I do that work for you today.

Background

A guide who's walked this road.

Chances are I've seen a version of your problem before. Two decades in technology consulting — executing engagements inside multiple Fortune 500 organizations while handling all aspects of a modern data & analytics practice at a Tier 1 consulting firm — means I've sat with a lot of leadership teams staring at numbers they didn't trust. The connective tissue across all of it: deep, hands-on technical work — modeling, pipelines, cloud warehouses, dbt — paired with the kind of direct executive communication that is usually walled off in larger consulting engagements.

Dorian Insights is the practice around this work today: a senior-principal consultancy focused on data and analytics, business strategy, and the technology architecture that supports them. Most engagements involve direct platform work — across cloud data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery), dbt, and the broader modern data stack — always in service of a strategic question that started with your leadership team.

Current focus areas include building and operating cloud data platforms; team and process design; integration of LLMs and AI into analytical workflows; and full-stack analysis from raw data through executive presentation. In every case, the aim is the same: your team, empowered with answers it trusts.
