Arlette Walls, IGP, CIGO, CIGO/AI
Principal Consultant
With HEKATE IG Consulting, I bring clarity and structure to the data chaos. With over two decades of experience in information management and governance, I help organizations navigate the critical but often overlooked work of aligning and preserving business and scientific data, especially during M&A integration activities. From biotech to global services, I’ve led record separation and integration across multiple mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, reducing litigation risk and improving long-term compliance outcomes.
My approach blends strategic foresight with operational precision. I ask the right questions, connect across silos, and deliver frameworks that stand up to legal, audit, and regulatory scrutiny. Along the way, I build trust. Whether I’m working with legal, compliance, IT, privacy, or business leaders, my focus is always on clarity, continuity, and impact. My efforts have resulted in reducing physical and electronic storage footprint, and cleaner, better-organized data that accelerates AI adoption and decision-making.
I’ve led benchmarking and cross-industry collaboration among senior executives across the world’s top pharma companies. I’m also a sought-after speaker on governance, artificial intelligence (AI), integration, and M&A readiness, helping teams understand the strategic value of their data and what it takes to steward it responsibly.
If your organization is navigating or preparing for change, I’m the person who helps you organize and protect your data, and improve operational efficiency. And I partner with other Subject Matter Experts consultants when needed.
Why Hekate?
Hekate is the Greek goddess of transitions.
Information is rarely static, it goes through multiple transformations across the data lifecycle. From digitization of paper records to structured data in applications, through data migrations, upstream and downstream connections, archiving, disposition,
Managing those transitions is our business.
