Founder, Vollen Data Services

Randall (Randy) Vollen is an Executive, Data & AI leader with two decades of experience building data functions, governance frameworks, and analytics capabilities at scale. He has operated at the executive level across legal, financial services, water/engineering, and higher education — industries where data integrity, compliance, and board-level accountability are non-negotiable.

At Fragomen, a top-100 Am Law firm, Randy served as Data Executive and built the firm's data transformation function from the ground up — delivering AI and data solutions that identified $100M+ in revenue opportunity and $26M in cost avoidance. He led a team of 50+ and positioned data as a revenue-generating function.

Randy led data and analytics at PNC Bank (top-5 US bank), where he owned Vision13 — the board-reportable technology metrics program spanning $1B+ in strategic investments. At Evoqua, he drove the enterprise data strategy and self-service analytics roadmap, contributing to the $7.5B acquisition by Xylem in 2023.
