Data Governance & Information Management Leader | Helping Organisations Make Data Work for Strategic

About Me

I help executives, CDOs and data teams eliminate data chaos and turn information into a strategic asset. In my latest assignment, I hold the overall strategic responsibility for Information Management and drive frameworks that reduce costly errors and enable regulatory compliance and operational excellence. With deep experience in data governance, master data management, and data quality, I design practical and scalable governance that actually works, not just on paper. I partner with organizations in transition, often stepping in as an interim leader to stabilize, define, and accelerate their data operating model. My approach is pragmatic, business-driven, and anchored in clarity, structure, and measurable outcomes. If you need to unlock data value, build a governance foundation, or lead a transformation with confidence, I can help.
