About

A decade of turning messy data into decisions people trust.

Tuck Labs is the consulting practice of Erik Anderson.

What Tuck Labs does

Tuck Labs helps small and mid-sized businesses get lasting value from AI. That starts with the foundation most pilots skip: connecting the company's data and writing down what it means, so every report and AI tool gives the same, traceable answer.

The work combines three things: data architecture, applied AI, and the organizational change needed to make new tools part of how people work.

Erik Anderson, founder

Erik has spent more than a decade helping organizations make better decisions with what they already know.

Today he is Head of Data & AI at Farmland LP, a $400M farmland fund manager, where he is building a digital twin of the business: one trusted picture of the firm that people and AI agents both work from.

Before that he led the Data & Knowledge Management practice at Environmental Incentives, a $5 million portfolio with a team of five. He led the firm's first Responsible AI Policy and its first custom chatbot. For USAID's Guatemala Mission he led the data modernization effort that produced Atlas, a standard data platform later adopted by other Missions, and a Data Hub used by more than 100 partners.

Earlier in his career he built measurement systems and economic models for public agencies and investors. They include credit systems that have guided more than $20 million in investment, and optimization models for California's Central Valley that reduced projected farmland fallowing by 29% and mitigated roughly $800 million in losses.

The lesson from all of it: knowledge management, not just data management, is what limits how well an organization performs. Erik's work helps leaders see the why behind their data.

He holds an M.S. in Data Science from the University of Colorado Boulder.
