About

From data to decisions — and everything in between

I help enterprises bridge business and technology by building trustworthy data systems and the operating models around them.

Over the last decade, I’ve helped organizations transform how they use data to make decisions—shifting from reactive management to proactive governance and reliability. Today, at Intel, I lead efforts that unify business and data functions to improve visibility, decision-making, and enterprise trust in data.

My philosophy: data quality is not just a technical goal—it’s a reflection of how well an organization defines ownership, accountability, and purpose. The stronger the system, the stronger the story your data tells.
