Arval Headrick
AI & Data Architect · Founder, Globe & Anchor Digital Media Solutions LLCI've spent 20+ years building data and AI systems inside some of the largest financial institutions in the world. That means I've seen what actually works — and what blows up when the governance isn't there to back it up.
My background spans Bank of America, Santander, Aetna/Meritain Health, GE Capital, Citigroup, Dell, and Epicor. I've worked across banking, healthcare, and financial services — three of the most regulated, most data-intensive, and most AI-consequential industries in existence.
Globe & Anchor exists because mid-market companies in these industries are making expensive AI decisions without the data infrastructure or governance to support them. I've sat in the data warehouse. I've fixed the pipelines. I know what a real AI program looks like, and I know the difference between a proof of concept and something that actually changes how an organization works.
Key Projects
Core data system supporting ~$2 trillion in daily transaction volume. Data architecture, pipeline integrity, and governance at true institutional scale.
End-to-end cloud data migration from legacy Oracle infrastructure to Snowflake. Data modeling, ETL re-architecture, and performance validation across the migrated environment.
Regulatory compliance implementation for federal healthcare billing transparency law. Data systems, reporting pipelines, and audit trail architecture built to regulatory spec.
Certifications & Credentials
Practitioner-led.
Not firm-overhead-led.
The big consulting firms have playbooks. They bring in junior analysts, run the same framework they ran at the last client, and bill you for the privilege. The partner shows up at kickoff and close-out. You don't see them in between.
That's not how I work. When you engage Globe & Anchor, you're working with me directly — someone who has actually built the systems, navigated the production incidents, and sat in the regulatory reviews. The insight isn't packaged. It's earned.
Mid-market companies deserve that same quality of strategic thinking — without the markup that pays for a downtown office and a sales team you'll never talk to again.
