With a decade immersed in data analytics, I've learned a thing or two about making data work for businesses.
I'm all about fostering a culture where everyone gets the value of data. But here's the kicker—I'm a stickler for good data. I firmly believe that improving data quality leads to better insights and analytics. It's like building a house on a solid foundation.

From my years of hands-on experience, it's become crystal clear: businesses can't afford to overlook the importance of data governance and change control. It's not just a checkbox exercise; it's about ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance at every step, from data acquisition to reporting and analytics development.
