Peoria, Arizona, United States

About

I am a strategic digital leader with 15 years of experience architecting enterprise-wide analytics solutions that turn complex data into actionable business growth. Leveraging a Master of Science in Information Management (MSIM), I bridge the gap between complex data architecture and executive business strategy. My career is defined by leading high-stakes digital transformations, including the enterprise-wide migration of 100+ web and mobile assets to a HIPAA-compliant Quantum Metric framework. I specialize in breaking down departmental silos and have a proven track record of managing stakeholders across 12+ countries to align digital touchpoints into a unified global strategy. I am an expert in creating a 'single source of truth' that empowers cross-functional teams and executive leadership. By establishing 'Quarterly Data Connects' and Digital Performance Centers of Excellence, I have driven a 1,500% increase in active stakeholder data adoption and fostered a self-service culture across global business units. Beyond strategy, I bring deep technical authority in data privacy and governance, serving as the lead for enterprise OneTrust implementations and ensuring automated compliance with GDPR and CPRA protocols.
