## About

Enterprise data strategy and transformation executive with 20+ years of experience building data organizations across healthcare, technology, financial services, and regulated environments. I combine regulatory-grade governance expertise with hands-on leadership in data strategy, governance, MDM, data quality, and AI-ready data foundations.

Most recently, I built HealthEquity’s enterprise Data Governance capability from the ground up, securing $3M+ in funding and establishing MDM, data quality, cataloging, and governance operations. Previously, I built and led a 40+ person global data organization at Splunk and held senior data leadership roles at Equinix, Bank of the West, and GE Capital.

I advise organizations on turning complex, fragmented data into a trusted business asset that enables better decisions, efficiency, and growth.
