About

✨ About Me ✨ I’m a CDMP-Certified Data Governance and Data Quality Professional with 10+ years of experience working with global organizations including PwC, Oracle, IHS Markit, and Cognizant. My passion lies in transforming client, vendor, and entity master data into trusted, insight-ready assets that enhance compliance, reduce risk, and drive business growth. At PwC’s US Chief Data Office, I lead end-to-end data validation, enrichment, and integration initiatives across enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, SAP, Informatica (MDM/IDD), and ServiceNow. I strengthen master data quality using reputable external sources like D&B Hoovers, S&P Capital IQ, Factiva, and EDGAR, while applying data profiling, segmentation, and industry classification techniques to support enterprise-wide refresh programs. Leveraging Python, SQL, and GenAI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot), I’ve built automation workflows and dashboards that simplify quality checks and enhance productivity — improving operational efficiency by nearly 40%. 💡 Recognized as a collaborative leader, I mentor analysts, engage cross-functional stakeholders, and establish data governance best practices that scale across global programs.
