About Us

Experienced. Methodical. Honest about what it takes.

Our Story

RocketWeave’s approach to post-acquisition data migration is informed by a simple observation: the organizations that struggle most with it aren’t the ones with the hardest problems, they’re the ones that didn’t see the complexity coming.

Our principals have been doing this work since 2000, across financial services, real estate, homebuilding, healthcare software, and beyond. We’ve led migrations involving billions of records, reverse-engineered undocumented legacy systems, and guided executive teams through the discovery that their migration was larger than anyone planned for. We’ve seen most of the ways these projects go wrong, and we’ve built a methodology around making sure they don’t.

What we bring isn’t just technical capability. It’s the combination of technical execution and business-process understanding that determines whether migrated data is actually usable by the people who depend on it, not just present in the destination system.

RocketWeave is principal-led by design. Our founders are directly involved in every engagement, not as occasional overseers but as the people driving the work. When project scale demands it, we draw on a trusted network of technical specialists we’ve worked with for years, staffing up quickly without the overhead of carrying a large bench.

We’re honest about what success requires. Timelines lengthen, scope evolves, and the data that was supposed to be clean rarely is. We plan for those realities, and we transfer knowledge to our clients’ own teams throughout, because a completed migration that leaves your organization dependent on outside help isn’t a success, it’s a subscription.

Managing Partner

Patrick Mundy

Patrick Mundy has spent 35 years at the intersection of enterprise data and business process, bridging the gap between what organizations need their data to do and the technical architecture required to make it happen. This is the foundation of the value he brings to every engagement he leads.

Patrick has participated in and led enterprise-scale data migration projects across financial services, real estate, homebuilding, and healthcare software for the better part of three decades. He knows the lifecycle of a complex migration from the inside out.

Equally important is his decades-long background as a facilitator. Enterprise migrations succeed or fail on the quality of decisions made by business stakeholders, and getting those decisions made clearly and with genuine consensus is a skill that doesn’t come with the technical toolkit. He recently completed UC Berkeley Haas School of Business’s Data Strategy program, adding formal strategic framing to a career built through hands-on execution.

Outside of work, Patrick produces large-scale street theater and scavenger hunt adventures, plays drums in bands, and loves exploring the Sonoma coastline with his partner and teenage son. He recently concluded a 9-year tenure on his son’s school Foundation Board, including a term as Chair.

 

Senior Partner

Scott Kier

Scott Kier brings more than 30 years of enterprise software and systems experience to RocketWeave, with a career defined by large-scale integrations, complex multi-party implementations, and the ability to operate fluently across both the business and technical sides of demanding projects. It is exactly that combination that made him a natural fit when he joined RocketWeave’s founding team in the firm’s early years.

Scott spent more than a decade at global trade finance and supply chain platform TradeCard (later acquired by Infor) in senior customer-facing and professional services roles. Here, he designed and implemented large-scale system integrations between ERP platforms, EDI networks, and SaaS solutions for major consumer brands and financial institutions worldwide. That experience gave him deep fluency in the kinds of cross-system complexity, data interdependency, and stakeholder alignment challenges that define enterprise data migration work.

Since joining RocketWeave, Scott has applied that background directly to migration and integration engagements, bringing seasoned pattern recognition to the scoping, architecture, and business-process work that determines whether complex projects succeed. His ability to bring technical teams, business stakeholders, and executive sponsors to a shared understanding is a consistent asset across every engagement he leads.

Founding Partner

Albert Factora

Albert Factora has spent his career implementing and integrating the enterprise systems that organizations depend on most — ERP, CRM, and the business-critical platforms that sit between them. His particular strength is identifying the gaps that emerge when systems need to talk to each other, and finding the technical and process solutions to close them. Within RocketWeave, he is also the firm’s resident authority on ASC 606 revenue recognition — a domain that sits at the intersection of financial compliance, data architecture, and business-process design, and one that surfaces with surprising frequency in post-acquisition migration work.

Before co-founding RocketWeave, Albert spent years at Epocrates — a medical software company that navigated a successful IPO before being acquired by athenahealth — leading the kind of pre-IPO system readiness work that demands both rigor and speed. That experience encompassed GL modernization, usage-based fulfillment systems, Salesforce-to-finance integration, and the revenue recognition compliance work that would later define some of his most consequential client engagements. Getting a company’s data, systems, and business processes investor-ready under deadline pressure is a different kind of crucible than day-to-day operations, and it informs how Albert approaches high-stakes integration and migration work today.

Albert is a co-founder of RocketWeave and has been a core part of its methodology and client work since the firm’s earliest engagements. He is also, by his own account, one of the more serious heat-seekers in the Bay Area — the kind of person who reads hot sauce labels the way others read wine lists.
