About

My honest vision: To translate Data Governance and Data Quality 'in a language understood by all stakeholders'. I'm a Data Governance and Data Quality practitioner helping clients across the globe with what I call the PPT model - People, Process and Technology model. I build enterprise data and AI foundations in complex global organizations. I am the author book "Data Quality ROI" which is my honest attempt to provide an alternative lens to this ever important topic. I have deep experience in designing and implementing enterprise Data Governance and Data Quality Frameworks, reducing fragmentation, establishing scalable processes, embedding technologies with an adoption focused view and guiding and challenging Data Owners and Data Stewards to be successful in their roles. Innovative and strategic thinker, motivated to disrupt and make a difference in this industry. I chair enterprise Data & AI governance forums to support alignment between business, leadership and delivery teams. I have been successful in establishing strong vendor relationships in this space. Active membership of the broader technology community (for DG/DQ) with an understanding of leading trends in the market.
