With over 17 years navigating complex data ecosystems, this professional excels in architecting cloud-native solutions across a Major Cloud Provider and a Technology Company while driving enterprise-wide data governance for organisations such as a Major Insurance Company, a Financial Institution and a Telecommunications Company. They combine deep expertise in data architecture, modelling and analytics with a proven ability to translate business mandates into actionable roadmaps, empowering teams within financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare to unlock data-driven value.

Adept at orchestrating advanced capabilities—including a Data Platform Lakehouse, a Cloud Analytics Service, and a Business Intelligence Tool—this individual has delivered scalable data platforms, near real-time operational stores and governed BI environments. Key achievements include leading the migration of reporting workloads to a Business Intelligence Tool at a Major Insurance Company, creating a Customer 360 Operational Data Store for a Telecommunications Provider, and automating cloud-based ingestion pipelines for a Major Bank’s risk reporting. Their skill set spans data strategy, lakehouse design, data catalog tooling, DevOps-enabled CI/CD, and rigorous stakeholder engagement under Agile and ITIL frameworks.

Demonstrating collaborative leadership, they mentor multidisciplinary teams, set architectural guardrails, and foster data literacy across the enterprise. Adaptable to diverse industry challenges—from risk analytics in banking to health-data convergence at a Healthcare Provider—they consistently align technology investments with strategic objectives. This blend of technical depth, governance focus, and consultative approach positions them as a catalyst for data-driven transformation in any forward-thinking organisation.
