  • Strong stakeholder management: translating business requirements into scalable data solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present technical solutions to non-technical leaders.
  • Experience managing concurrent data initiatives with Agile project delivery practices.
  • Ability to identify risks, optimize costs, drive innovation, and improve overall data quality.
  • Strategic mindset with hands-on execution capability.
