Senior Business Analyst and Data Governance specialist driving enterprise Collibra implementations and data quality for regulated banks.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Business Analyst and Data Governance specialist with 8+ years implementing enterprise data governance programs and 16+ years in banking and risk domains. I have led Collibra rollouts, metadata onboarding, stewardship enablement, and governance KPI tracking across Risk, Finance, and Compliance.
I design and automate governance workflows (data access, issue management, policy approvals, certification) and integrate Collibra with cloud platforms (GCP, ETL) to deliver lineage, classification (PII, CUI, Confidential), and AI-ready governance practices. I have driven large projects—managing budgets and teams—and produced audit-ready documentation like data dictionaries, source-to-target mappings, and CDEs.
I excel at stakeholder engagement and translating complex regulatory needs (CCAR, Basel III, BCBS 239, CECL, GDPR) into scalable solutions using SQL, Python, Alteryx, Tableau, Power BI, and cloud tooling. I seek roles where I can advance governance maturity, enable trusted analytics, and support regulated enterprise data programs.
