- Strong track record in enterprise Data Architecture and Governance, including hands-on experience with metadata lineage, data quality platforms, stewardship frameworks, and enterprise business glossaries.
- Demonstrated ability to bridge technical AI/engineering teams and non-technical business stakeholders to drive consensus on data models.
