KeyDelta Founder Russ Reeder to Speak on Unlocking Trapped Enterprise Data at The AI Summit New York

Russ Reeder, founder and CEO of KeyDelta, will speak at The AI Summit New York on December 9, 2026, in a Headliners session on getting value from enterprise data that is locked inside organizations. He argues that trapped data is usually a process problem, not a technology problem. Clear ownership and decisions that actually close are what make data usable for AI. End Quote

Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) November 06, 2026 - KeyDelta today announced that its founder and CEO, Russ Reeder, will speak at The AI Summit New York, held December 9 and 10, 2026. Reeder shares the stage with a senior enterprise data and engineering leader for the session “Beyond the Model: Unlocking Trapped Data for the AI-Driven Enterprise.” The session is part of the Headliners program and runs Wednesday, December 9, 2026, from 2:20 to 2:45 p.m. Eastern.

The session starts from a premise most executive teams now recognize. Deploying advanced AI is no longer the main hurdle. The harder work is getting at the enterprise data needed to power real-time decisions. That means modernizing foundational infrastructure, removing technical friction, and tying data strategy directly to growth.

Reeder’s work at KeyDelta rests on one premise: fix the broken processes first, then bring in AI that transforms how the business runs. Trapped data is usually a process problem before it is a technology problem. When no one owns a data source, and decisions about it never close, the data stays locked no matter which model sits on top. KeyDelta applies that principle through the KeyDelta Method (Advise. Build. Manage.) and its VOOCS execution framework: Vision, Outcomes, Ownership, Cadence, Systems.

“Data doesn’t get trapped by accident,” said Reeder. “It gets trapped when no one owns it and decisions about it never close. Fix that, and the AI has something to work with.” - Russ Reeder, Founder and CEO, KeyDelta.

Session details are on The AI Summit New York agenda. More about KeyDelta is at keydelta.com.
