What I'm looking for

I’m looking for hybrid or on-site Data Governance roles in Ireland, and I’m available immediately.

At Berkeley Data Strategist UK, I design and embed data governance frameworks for enterprise clients in financial services, energy, and other regulated sectors. I established stewardship communities and governance forums that improved policy adherence by 45% and reduced data quality incidents by 35%.

At NineOil Limited, I redesigned governance across data ingestion, lifecycle management, quality, and reference data, cutting processing errors by 30% and improving compliance efficiency by 40%. I also introduced metadata cataloguing that increased data discoverability by 50%.

Earlier, at Onecomm Limited, I addressed metadata inconsistencies in financial reporting and helped establish a GDPR-compliant governance foundation. I’m available immediately for hybrid and on-site Data Governance roles in Ireland.
