A long-standing voice in enterprise data management, metadata, governance, and decision-ready information.

Dr. David Marco, author of Universal Meta Data Models and Building and Managing the Meta Data Repository

Dr. David Marco is the author and coauthor of several influential books in enterprise data management, metadata architecture, data warehousing, and data resource management.

His widely acclaimed, top-selling books Universal Meta Data Models and Building and Managing the Meta Data Repository helped shape the practical discipline of metadata management and enterprise data architecture. Both books were translated into Mandarin Chinese, reflecting their international reach and influence among data management professionals.

He is also a coauthor of Impossible Data Warehouse Situations and Solutions From The Experts and Data Resource Management, further extending his published work across data warehousing, governance, architecture, and enterprise data practices.

Across his books, articles, webinars, and executive briefings, Dr. Marco’s work has consistently focused on one central issue: how organizations create the structures, standards, accountability, and information foundations required to make better enterprise decisions.

That foundation now informs his board and C-suite advisory work on AI governance, data modernization, enterprise accountability, and decision integrity.
