DATA LEADERSHIP JOURNEY

I focused on creating value from data for our customers, which involved transitioning our service offerings and developing a cutting-edge data analytics platform. This role was a critical step in my journey, as it deepened my expertise in data strategy and analytics, leading to significant market share growth and productivity improvements.

My next role was with HealthEquity Inc., where I first served as Director of Data Management and later as Senior Director. Here, I led the development and implementation of data strategies that transitioned the company from a product-oriented to a process-oriented approach. This transition was pivotal in enhancing operational efficiency and cross-functional collaboration. I also implemented robust metrics reporting systems, which played a crucial role in aligning the organization’s goals with its data strategy.

In my most recent role as Senior Director of Data Management at HealthEquity Inc., I built and led a team of over 50 data professionals, overseeing daily operations for more than 150,000 clients. My strategic focus on enhancing data governance practices and optimizing processes led to a 29% reduction in costs and an 80% improvement in service levels. This role allowed me to refine my leadership skills further and contribute to significant operational and financial achievements.

Throughout my career, I have consistently driven innovation, operational efficiency, and strategic alignment, leveraging data as a powerful tool for business success. Each role has contributed to my growth as a data management and operations leader, culminating in a deep, technical expertise and a proven track record of delivering exceptional results across diverse industries.

This journey has been a continuous learning experience, and I am excited about the prospect of leveraging these skills and experiences to new challenges.

With over 20 years of experience in data management and operations leadership across various industries, I've had the chance to dive deep into many key aspects of data management—from governance and integration to analytics, database management, and AI business models.

Throughout my career, I've blended technical expertise with operational leadership, which has allowed me to foster collaboration, drive innovation, and achieve significant business outcomes in complex projects. I've also spent a lot of time in client-facing roles, which has given me a strong understanding of the challenges clients face and the importance of delivering strategic solutions that truly meet their needs.
