My Journey

My path here wasn't linear by design — it was linear by necessity. I started as a Senior Web Integration Specialist wiring systems together by hand, moved into production support and root-cause analysis at Expedia, then spent over four years at Koch Technology Centre turning a global compliance-IT portfolio into a governed, automated operation. Aon is where the MDM specialization sharpened — architecting Reltio data models and later leading the support organization that kept golden records trustworthy in production. Today, at Apptad, that full arc — hands-on technical depth plus enterprise-scale governance — is what lets me lead delivery for global clients without losing sight of the details that make or break a program.

Great delivery isn’t about heroics under pressure — it’s about building the governance, teams, and data foundations so pressure rarely has to reach heroics in the first place.

Governance as an Enabler

Structure — KPIs, RAG reporting, steering-committee cadence — isn’t overhead. It’s what lets a distributed team move fast without moving blind.

People Before Process

Frameworks matter, but they only work when the people running them are trusted, developed, and given real ownership.

Data as Infrastructure

A Golden Record isn’t a project deliverable — it’s infrastructure the rest of the business builds on for years.
