What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in data governance.

I am a dedicated Data Governance Officer with a strong focus on the strategic development, implementation, and enforcement of information governance and privacy programs. My experience includes leading comprehensive company-wide initiatives that enhance compliance and optimize data processes. I thrive on collaborating with stakeholders to generate actionable insights that drive decision-making.

Currently, as a Data Governance Manager at Frontman Media, I design and implement centralized business glossaries and manage data domains to ensure effective governance. My role involves facilitating discussions that align stakeholders with governance objectives and creating policies that uphold data accuracy and security. I have successfully contributed to building a comprehensive data dictionary and initiated product strategies for core Data Governance capabilities.

Previously, I served as a Data Governance Analyst at E.M.E Ent. Company, where I implemented data governance strategies that significantly reduced duplicated records and developed a tailored governance framework. My commitment to promoting data governance best practices and mentoring junior analysts has strengthened the connection between technical and business units, ensuring effective communication and data-driven solutions.
