About Castle AI Consulting
Christopher van der Kaay, Ph.D.
I’m a statistician with more than 15 years of experience in institutional research, technology leadership, and planning. My consulting work spans data analysis, strategic planning, institutional effectiveness, and data and AI governance.
I’ve worked in education and local government, helping organizations interpret findings, set priorities, and assess progress. I also facilitate planning discussions and provide workshops and staff training.
My approach emphasizes clear explanations, sound methods, and responsible use of data and AI.
