About me
Hi,
I'm a Data Governance and Technology Leader with more than 20 years of experience in Information Technology, including over 12 years in leadership, governance, and management positions across multinational organizations and large enterprises.
Throughout my career, I have helped organizations transform data and technology into strategic business assets by establishing governance frameworks, improving data quality, strengthening decision-making capabilities, and leading high-performing teams through complex transformation initiatives.
My professional development includes executive education programs at globally recognized institutions such as INSEAD, Harvard Business School, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
I hold the CDMP Practitioner certification from DAMA International, along with specialist certifications in Data Governance, Data Quality, and Reference & Master Data Management. I am also certified as an ITIL 4 Strategic Leader and HDI Certified Technology Officer (CTO), enabling me to connect Data Management, Technology Strategy, Governance, and Business Value.
My areas of expertise include:
• Data Governance
• Master Data Management (MDM)
• Reference Data Management
• Data Quality Management
• Data Strategy & Operating Models
• IT Governance
• IT Service Management
• Executive Leadership
As an instructor, I combine executive leadership experience with best practices in Data Management, IT Governance, and Technology Strategy to help professionals develop practical skills that go beyond certification exams.
My courses bring together concepts from Data Governance, Master Data Management, Data Quality, DAMA DMBOK2, ITIL 4 Strategic Leader, Digital Transformation, and Technology Leadership. The goal is not only to help students earn certifications, but also to prepare them for leadership roles and real-world business challenges.
I believe that trusted data, effective governance, and strategic leadership are key drivers of business success.
My mission is simple:
Transform data and technology into strategic assets that enable better decisions, stronger governance, and sustainable business growth.
