What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous growth in data management.

I am a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in Data Operations, Data Analytics, Taxonomy/Ontology, and Product Management, primarily within the Market Research, Media, and Technology sectors. My career has been dedicated to enhancing data discoverability and user satisfaction through the development and maintenance of robust taxonomies and metadata frameworks. I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement innovative data classification systems and governance practices that drive efficiency and improve processes.

In my most recent role as Taxonomy Manager at TelmarHelixa, I led the adoption and development of taxonomies and ontologies, significantly increasing our data catalog by 100%. My experience includes managing complex projects, training teams, and utilizing machine learning processes to automate taxonomy classification. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create scalable strategies that align with evolving business needs and market trends, ensuring that data remains a valuable asset for decision-making.
