Datatonic Drives Forward with New AI Leadership for Growth in the Americas

Datatonic Welcomes Stephen Charko as Head of Sales for the Americas

In a significant move aimed at enhancing its presence in North America, Datatonic, recognized as a leading data and AI consultancy and a ten-time Google Cloud Partner of the Year, has appointed Stephen Charko as Head of Sales for the Americas, effective November 3, 2025. With a wealth of experience in data analytics and strategic sales, Charko's leadership is expected to drive the next phase of growth for Datatonic, which has already made substantial inroads into the North American market over the past two years.

Charko's background includes a proven track record at KPMG, where he significantly expanded Deal Advisory Analytics, achieving impressive year-over-year growth. He has also held positions at Gartner and Telemetry, further underscoring his expertise in building high-performing analytics organizations. With an MBA from McMaster University, Charko is well-equipped to lead Datatonic's efforts to deepen enterprise relationships and drive ROI-positive AI adoption in key sectors such as Telecommunications, Media, Retail, and Financial Services.

As organizations grapple with the complexities of AI implementation, the demand for reliable, revenue-generating AI solutions is on the rise. Many enterprises find themselves caught in a cycle of endless experimentation without tangible results, often due to unclear use cases or inefficient deployment strategies. Charko notes that, "AI has reached the point where experimentation isn't enough. Datatonic is uniquely built for this moment because we take clients into production and drive adoption through rapid upskilling, enablement, and change support."

Under Charko's guidance, Datatonic plans to emphasize four core strategies that are crucial for maximizing the impact of AI — accelerating cloud modernization, reducing operational costs, transforming data for better insights, and revolutionizing media search capabilities. For instance, Datatonic's Gemini-powered Migration Accelerator enables clients to reduce complex dashboard load times by an astonishing 80% and cut data processing times by up to 75%, thus enhancing their capacity for quick and confident analysis of ERP data.

Moreover, organizations deploying Datatonic's advanced invoice processing solutions have reportedly seen reductions in processing costs by as much as 70%, a significant enhancement in customer satisfaction. The company's strategies also extend to improving media operations, having successfully reduced search and discovery times in streaming and lowering customer churn by 15% through user experience upgrades.

In an era where AI is fast becoming integral to business operations, Datatonic's objectives align perfectly with industry needs for scalable success. Charko shared, "As we step into this new chapter, our focus will not only be on creating innovative solutions but also on ensuring that our clients derive measurable value from them. Datatonic doesn’t just build solutions; we engineer business advantages."

As he leads the expansion of Datatonic's commercial reach across the Americas, Charko's unique background and strategic vision are expected to consolidate the company’s position as a premier partner for organizations looking to harness the full potential of their data and AI initiatives.

Significantly, Datatonic's approach to AI goes beyond mere implementation; it is about transforming insights into actionable business strategies. With a rapidly growing portfolio of successful AI deployments in data-intensive sectors, the company is well-positioned to further its mission of bringing clarity and accountability to AI-driven initiatives.

As Datatonic continues on its trajectory of growth and innovation, Charko’s leadership will undoubtedly play a central role in defining what effective AI integration can achieve for businesses in the Americas. This strategic appointment may very well herald a new era for Datatonic, where the company not only meets but exceeds the evolving expectations of enterprises poised to leverage AI for sustained competitive advantage.
