I help enterprise CIOs, CDOs, and IT leaders move through fragmented data environments and promising ideas that have stalled before reaching production.
I've spent my career building and growing enterprise technology practices. At Mainline, I built the Business Analytics group from zero to $20M in five years. At Sirius, I grew the Big Data and Analytics group from $20M to $78M in under four years. Today, I lead the AI, Analytics & Automation practice I founded at LRS IT Solutions.
My work spans modern data platforms, enterprise AI, intelligent automation, observability, and FinOps. I am particularly interested in the distance between a compelling idea and something an organization can actually use.

sector-rotation-screener: an automated research project that scores 11 sector ETFs using seasonality, economic-cycle fit, and relative strength. It backtests the methodology, runs weekly through GitHub Actions, and publishes its results at sector.brianbeals.com.
The screener is an example of the analytical approach I value: combine multiple signals, make the reasoning visible, produce something useful to a human, and test the methodology before placing confidence in it.
I do my best work where an enterprise technology practice or go-to-market motion is still taking shape: translating executive ambition into an executable roadmap, bringing emerging technology into practical use, and helping sellers have more substantive conversations with customers.
That has included data, AI, analytics, automation, seller enablement, and AI-readiness work with CIOs and CDOs across Fortune 1000 and mid-market organizations.
