Maria Alejandra Garcia Montero

I’m a Data Quality and Governance Analyst with a background in Industrial Engineering and a specialization in Big Data and Data Analytics. I currently work in the financial sector, focused on building data governance frameworks that connect technical and functional governance to measurable outcomes.

In my role, I lead the Data Governance Set Up phase in the Datum corporate tool—covering project creation, process linking from ARIS, definition of data activities, and assignment of ownership through the SLO/Data Owner. I drive both Technical Governance (data systems and logical/physical structures) and Functional Governance (business data identification, functional definitions, and data catalog mapping), while designing Data Quality Models, critical metrics, expert rules, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with data providers.

Previously, as a Data Analyst at Migración Colombia, I performed end-to-end data cleaning, transformation, and analysis using SQL and Python, building reliable reporting in Power BI connected to internal databases. I designed KPIs aligned with strategic objectives and apply machine learning techniques for data analysis—translating complex requirements into structured solutions that support regulatory compliance and better decision-making.
