Jono Carlton
Founder, Blue Ridge Intelligence · M.S. Data Science

I'm a data scientist and analytics leader with experience building scalable data systems, deploying machine learning models, and leading cross-functional teams right here in WNC. I've built dashboards, deployed AI-powered tools, and translated complex data into decisions that actually matter.

I started Blue Ridge Intelligence because I kept seeing local businesses struggle with problems I knew how to solve. You shouldn't need a Fortune 500 budget to run a smarter business. If you're in Asheville, Weaverville, Black Mountain, Brevard, or anywhere in the greater WNC area, I'd love to sit down with you and figure out what's possible.
