I am a seasoned Data Management Professional with a focus on transforming data into strategic assets that drive digital transformation and sustainable value creation. My mission is to shape data as a core element of cultural and organizational excellence, bridging technical innovation with strategic vision.

With over seven years experience across sectors including finance, energy, and regulatory environments, I specialize in developing and implementing data governance frameworks, data strategies, and management policies that align with business goals and ensure compliance. As a Senior Data Governance Consultant at Devoteam, I support initiatives that standardize and elevate data practices, influencing data handling on a nationwide scale.
My areas of expertise include:
• Data Governance & Quality: Designing and implementing data management standards, policies, and frameworks that uphold data integrity, compliance with regulations like GDPR, NDMO, or PDPL, and operational excellence.
• Data Culture & Literacy: Leading initiatives that drive data literacy and democratization, and empowering teams to view data as a strategic asset, and building mindsets that embraces data-driven decision-making across all levels.
• Data Strategy & Transformation: Designing and implementing data strategies that connect technical initiatives with broader business goals, enabling digital transformation and value creation.

In my career, I have successfully developed a cross-functional data governance framework, compliance and maturity frameworks and led a data culture transformation. I believe that effective data leadership requires not just technical skills but also a strong commitment to empowering people.
I help organizations to achieve compliance and gain a sustainable competitive advantage by building trust, respect, and shared responsibility around data.

My leadership philosophy is about creating a culture of continuous improvement, inspired by principles of personal mastery and resilience. I am committed to fostering growth, both professionally and personally, in the teams I lead. Through my work, I aspire to contribute to a legacy that celebrates data literacy, strategic insight, and cultural pride, helping organizations and individuals harness the power of data responsibly and with a purpose.
