Data Project Manager at BNP Paribas strengthening data controls and growing a risk tool’s adoption 180%.

Spain
Message

At BNP Paribas, I own and strengthen a data integrity control framework for external data providers. I use trend monitoring, root-cause analysis, and automated API error monitoring to reduce recurring data exceptions and safeguard data lineage.

As Data Project Manager, I act as the central escalation point for complex data quality issues, coordinating investigations and remediation with internal teams, Technology, and external vendors. I also lead regulatory data quality implementation and governance across Risk, Retail, and Investment Banking.

As Product Owner of the Group Physical Risk Tool, I turn operational pain points into a product roadmap. The roadmap helped grow user adoption 180% year-over-year, and I partner with Front Office teams on ESG dashboards used for client engagement and decision-making.

At Kimpa, I managed a client-facing data project and defined KPIs across investments, driving root-cause-based improvements to underperforming portfolios and data flows. I also supervised monthly investor reporting and coordinated work with contractors and external data providers.
