I'm a thought leader in the field of Master Data Management (MDM) and Data Governance and have consulted to some of the largest businesses in the world on their enterprise information management strategies. I am a frequent public speaker on data and analytics best practices and I cherish the opportunity to share practical and actionable insights on how companies can achieve their strategic imperatives by improving their approach to data management. 

As the Head of Data Strategy for Profisee, my mission is to raise the awareness of the value of MDM and Data Governance to senior data leaders at companies across the globe. MDM and Data Governance remain a significant challenge to most companies, but through the application of practical and outcome-driven data management best practices, my goal is to empower companies with the confidence and knowledge needed to become truly data driven. 

Profisee MDM is how enterprises can finally solve the data quality issues that have been holding back so many strategic initiatives. With the industry’s only “make it easy, make it accurate, make it scale” approach to data management, Profisee helps companies get past the “brick wall” of data quality issues without the cost, complexity and risk of traditional MDM solutions.
