EXPERIENCE:

Senior Director

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• To build foundational data capabilities to turn data into information and actionable intelligence and make it available for Business, Customers and Distributors.
• Design and build an Integrated Data Platform (IDP) comprising an Ingestion Framework, a Data Lake, a standardized, validated and cataloged data repository, an integrated multi-domain master data platform (MDM), and a delivery layer capable of supporting batch and real-time, self-service based consumption including provisioning of user sandbox via cloud capability.
• Establish and enforce data standards, data enrichment strategy and data cataloging and lineage capabilities.
• Data model extensive and complex data tiers of the IDP.
• Extend data lake to cloud storage (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, or Google Cloud Storage) and use Snowflake to accelerate data transformations and analytics in the existing data lake.
