What you do, your mission, your vision, and your values are unique. I have decades of experience in data and digital products. I’ve worked as a data digital and application consultant for the best firms in Asia, North America, the Pacific, and Europe. I’ve learned all the rules and know which ones to bend and which to break.
Recent Achievements:
- AI: MS Copilot deployed at scale: 1,600 users, 95% utilization rate, 4.5/5 satisfaction rate.
- Federated Data Governance program design and implementation in a $5 billion, 10,000-employee organization.
- Guest speaker at the University of Otago and Carleton University in data analytics and business management lectures.
My difference is my philosophy that, with digital products, data outcomes must be prioritized from the outset of new projects. My philosophy flies in the face of some application traditionalists who aim to implement all application features without a holistic, realistic consideration of data consumption needs, and thus have an incomplete cost-benefit analysis. This involves designing your application configuration while keeping data outcomes in mind. It also means enabling only the necessary application transactions to support core business activities. Additionally, it involves enabling digital products and ensuring that your digital and corporate strategies are aligned through robust data governance and digital product delivery.
I’m creative, curious, and am an expert in all things data.
