Get in touch ↓About
Thomas Johannesen is a Senior Managing Business Consultant and Solution Architect at Capgemini, currently serving as Product Manager for Digital & Data Enablement on the Penske Connected Fleet program. Over 30 years he has architected the systems behind a $2B annual incentives program, delivered seven-figure cost reductions, and built platforms that now process fleet and telemetry data in near-real time.
His method pairs AI-accelerated discovery with a fixed rule: verify to trust, then verify again. He builds working demos himself — using Claude and Grok — to compress the distance between an idea and a business case, then puts every number through source validation before it reaches a stakeholder.
Data Innovation Pipeline
A methodology he created pairing early ROI definition with AI-accelerated discovery, aligned to SVPG continuous discovery — applied across the Tires, Fuel, and Faults domains, and behind every demo on this page. President, Johannesen Consulting Inc., since 2004.
Capabilities
Enterprise pipelines that move source-system data into governed, near-real-time resources — RBAC/ABAC access control, point-in-time history, and Change Data Capture built in from the start.
The Data Innovation Pipeline (DIP): early ROI definition, AI-driven ideation, and shortened stakeholder feedback loops — governed by multi-model verification and human ownership of every output.
Detection logic and decision workflows for rental, leasing, and lending operations — from counter-level verification flows to portfolio-level risk profiles.
Business requirements translated into system design across telematics, FinTech, and eCommerce — a 30-year record spanning automotive, telecom, pharma, and banking.
Technical prototypes converted into board-ready cases — quantified savings, source-cited data, and clearly flagged assumptions rather than unverified claims.
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. Master Certificate in IS/IT Project Management, Villanova University. Disciplined agile delivery across multi-team programs.
