• Unify enterprise data models across the organization to eliminate fragmented silos and ensure a single, governed, and trusted "Source of Truth."

• Maintain ownership of data cataloging, quality, and governance standards while ensuring BI platforms and data assets comply with security, privacy, and regulatory requirements across regions.

• Establish rigorous data quality, observability, and reliability standards to build sustained trust in analytics and reporting.

• Own vendor relationships and the BI budget, focusing on Total Cost of Ownership and Databricks compute efficiency.

• Oversee and ensure timely delivery of month-end data while implementing automation to streamline processes and improve long-term efficiency.

• Champion the use of AI and advanced analytics to automate insights, enhance forecasting, and surface proactive recommendations for the business.

• Lead the transition to modern BI tools, empowering teams to explore data independently while maintaining governance.

• Lead organizational change management and data literacy initiatives to drive adoption of self-service BI and analytics across the business.

• Lead and mentor a global team of engineer and analyst professionals, transitioning the function from manual data processing to high-value strategic innovation.
