About Kendrick van Doorn

I lead AI & Data Strategy at JPMorgan Chase, defining how the firm architects data to be AI-ready at scale.My work centers on semantic web technologies, data lakes, data meshes, and modern AI tooling, building the foundational frameworks that enable AI capabilities across the Firm. I direct strategy teams developing firmwide approaches to ontologies, common vocabularies, and federated governance.What makes my approach different: I bridge deep technical expertise with executive strategy. I can architect semantic data frameworks using leading industry standards (e.g, W3C) and present their business value to the C-suite. This combination of technical depth plus strategic storytelling is what drives adoption at enterprise scale.Before JPM, I built data and customer strategies at Astronomer (Apache Airflow), advised SDF Labs on their early product strategy and growth, and led enterprise technology transformation at VMware and Northrop Grumman. I started my career as a software engineer building AI/ML-driven systems for defense.I earned my MBA from Columbia Business School with a focus on technology strategy.Specialties: Semantic Web, Vector Databases, AI Infrastructure, Data Mesh, Data Lakes, AI-Ready Data Architecture, Enterprise Data Strategy, W3C Standards (DCAT, RDF, SHACL), MCP Servers.Open to conversations about AI data architecture, semantic technologies, and enterprise data strategy.
