By day, I’m a data consultant working mainly with clients in financial services. I define data strategies, design the operating models to deliver them, and see them through: building data products, establishing data governance and bringing in new technology.
Hobbies
Writing is my first love. I also enjoy photographing landscapes, nature and cats, and I’ve recently started sharing my photos on Instagram.
