FOUNDER & CEO
Nono Bokete
CEO & Head of Data Strategy · Austin, Texas
Twenty years of senior advisory across mining, financial services, supply chain, and retail — in Southern Africa, the UK, and the United States. Every engagement sharpened the same conviction: most transformations fail not because of bad technology, but because of the decisions made above it. Data Sentinels exists to close that gap.

“Transformation failures are
decision-making problems dressed
up as technology problems.”
This isn't a positioning line. It's the conclusion Nono reached after two decades of working inside organisations that bought the right tools, hired the right consultants, and still failed to transform. The pattern was consistent: the technology worked. The governance above it didn’t.
Data Sentinels is built to work at that layer — advising the leaders who decide which AI gets deployed, how transformation is governed, and whether any of it actually delivers. Not below the technology. Above it.
