Who We Are

Data Privacy Applied Mathematics Numerical Modeling AI & Cognition Quantum Formalism Synthetic Data

Shrike Research Advisory is an independent research consultancy led by Monica J. Holboke, Ph.D. — a scientist, entrepreneur, and former co-founder with deep expertise spanning data privacy, applied mathematics, numerical modeling, and emerging frameworks at the intersection of cognition, language, and AI.

With a career bridging academic research, enterprise software, and company-building — including a successful acquisition by Snowflake — Shrike brings rigorous scientific thinking to complex, ambiguous problems.

We operate at the edge where formal methods meet practical constraints: where a theorem needs to become a product, where a dataset carries privacy obligations, where a client's vague problem needs to become a precise specification that engineers can actually build.
