More About EtherVine
How We Started
After more than two decades leading innovation in higher education, policy, and equity-driven reform, David Reed co-founded EtherVine with a clear mission: to help institutions harness the full power of their data and align it with strategic action. Drawing on deep experience in academic leadership, strategic planning, and system transformation, EtherVine was created to close equity gaps and drive Insight, Strategy and Transformation.
Consulting Philosophy
Data Accessibility as a Practice of Freedom
Equitable access to data is a social imperative. When data is transparent, intelligible, and actionable, it empowers individuals and institutions to challenge inequity, drive change, and build more just systems.
Our consulting philosophy is grounded in the idea that data, like education, can be a liberating force. We combine cutting-edge tools such as AI-powered analytics, with decades of leadership experience to help organizations not just collect data, but understand and use it to reshape policies, practices, and outcomes.
We see consulting as a transformational partnership, not a transaction. Everyone deserves to understand and own their data. When organizations can clearly see what drives disparities and successes alike, they can make informed decisions that ripple outward—improving equity, resource use, and long-term impact.
This is data equity in action: helping institutions move from insight to transformation, and from knowledge to freedom.
