GAITHER STEPHENS

Founder. Innovator. Advocate.
I’m a data-driven changemaker dedicated to transforming communities through smarter social services. As the Founder & CEO of Gaither Dynamic, I’ve built over 300 data dashboards that empower cities across the nation, from San Diego to Orlando, with the insights needed to tackle homelessness effectively.

With a rich background that includes serving as CTO for Gulf Coast Partnership and founding the CoC Alliance, I’ve made it my mission to drive innovation and impact in the social services sector. My work spans the creation of national homelessness data initiatives in collaboration with leaders like Dr. Michael Ullman, as well as pioneering state-level projects across New York, Idaho, Maine, and North Carolina.

A passionate musician, public speaker, and advocate for AI’s potential in public service, I combine over 20 years of experience with a relentless drive for improvement and equity. Whether it’s at a national conference, on a drumset, or behind a dashboard, I’m always searching for new ways to help communities thrive.
