Enterprise Cloud Architect

Candidate Description

Marked by strategic vision and hands-on expertise, this Principal Data Architect brings over 25 years of progressive experience driving enterprise-level data architecture, governance and analytics transformations across telecommunications, financial services and retail giants. Their breadth spans information-domain modelling, cloud lakehouse design and regulatory-grade data-risk controls, underpinned by deep knowledge of Azure, Databricks, Oracle and Informatica platforms.

Leveraging advanced skills in data-modelling, master-data management and integration, they have delivered reference architectures, conceptual and logical models, and end-to-end data-flow designs that power critical decision-making. Key achievements include architecting an Enterprise Retention and Archival system, uplifting a financial institution's data-maturity in response to audit findings, and spearheading a DataLake Foundation on Hadoop and cloud platforms. Adept in Agile and PMP-backed project leadership, they translate complex requirements into scalable solutions while enforcing privacy-by-design and recognized standards.

A collaborative leader, they build and mentor high-performing teams, communicate technical insights in clear business terms and cultivate strong stakeholder engagement from executives to engineering squads. Their adaptability across diverse domains, combined with a passion for data excellence and compliance, positions them as a valuable catalyst for organisations seeking to maximise the strategic value of their information assets.
