Ortecha was founded in the UK in 2010 with a single mission: to help organisations manage their data. We felt that Change Projects too often focussed purely on technology, and that a different approach would result in more successful outcomes.
In the early years of the company, our Data Architecture skills came to the fore as we helped large financial institutions meet regulations brought in after the global financial crisis.
The Data Governance side of our expertise proved useful when we started working with the EDM Council on their DCAM framework, a relationship which is still central to our thinking today. Partnerships with Collibra and Solidatus soon followed, as we developed fresh ways to help companies improve their data.
Nowadays we’re expanding into new sectors and working with clients across Europe and North America from our offices in the UK and USA.
In April 2024 we embarked on an exciting new growth partnership with corporate advisory and investment firm Debrett’s. They work with their partners over the long term to create and realise company value, so together we can accelerate Ortecha’s growth both organically and inorganically through strategic acquisitions.
Our focus remains the same: to educate, advise and collaborate with our clients to establish and maintain sustainable data and analytics capabilities, so that they can achieve their strategic and operational goals with data they trust. We look forward to what the future brings!
In January 2025 Wellington Consulting Group joined the Ortecha family as Ortecha Canada!
With over 15 years of experience, Wellington Consulting Group is a trusted partner to Canadian and American companies. Founded by Brian McConnell (Managing Director), they specialise in navigating complex business transformations powered by robust data management practices. Their proven expertise in addressing critical business challenges, such as finance transformations, fraud modernisation, anti-money laundering compliance, payments modernisation, and other regulatory requirements, is built on a strong foundation for developing effective business and data strategies.
This strategic addition enhances our depth of expertise and establishes a stronger local presence in Canada, complementing our already impressive US team. Together, we will continue to deliver unparalleled value to our clients by tackling their most pressing business and regulatory challenges with innovative solutions.
Mark McQueen, Managing Partner for North America at Ortecha, shared his enthusiasm about this new chapter: “Having collaborated with Wellington on client engagements and initiatives with the EDM Council, I am thrilled to join forces with Brian and his talented team. This partnership will strengthen our collective skill set and expand our reach into the Canadian market.”
We look forward to leveraging our combined strengths to drive data transformative results for our clients across North America.
We have a fantastic team of consultants ready to help you solve your data dilemmas. They come from a range of backgrounds (from mechanical engineering to classical music) but are united in their ability to bring sense to disorganised data. Our two managing partners lead, guide and inspire.
Managing Partner
Pete’s one of our founding partners and will probably be the first person you talk to if you get in contact with us in the UK or Europe. He’s a DCAM expert and heads up the company as a whole. In his spare time he’ll usually be found near a car!
Managing Partner (US)
Mark will normally be your first point of contact if you’re getting in touch in North America. He’s a DCAM expert (former Senior Advisor at the EDM Council) and leads the US side of the business. He enjoys travelling and hopes to visit the Greek Islands one day.
We’ve formed partnerships with organisations where we feel we can help each other support clients in their Data Management work. We’re particularly knowledgeable about these, but we’re happy to work with all technologies and frameworks. Click on each to learn more.
