Back to original languageAbout Rachida
Senior Consultant in Data Strategy & Governance
Do you have data ambitions, but your foundations are struggling to keep up?
I can help you build sustainable data frameworks and, most importantly, make them thrive.
For 20 years, I've been assisting Data, Business, and IT departments in their data-driven transformations, with an approach that combines"strategy, governance, and operational implementation."
👉My areas of expertise:
- Restructuring Data Offices, implementing operating models tailored to your culture and organization
- Coaching CDOs, empowering data governance teams
- Activating governance within your data platforms by fostering effective team collaboration
- Aligning practices with regulatory requirements (GDPR, Data Act, AI Act, competition law...)
- Deploying Data Mesh and Data Product models in complex or multi-entity contexts
- Re-skilling your employees on DATA challenges in the age of AI.
My method?
In pursuit of consensus among stakeholders, I advocate for convergence by applying an exclusive "**Data by Design**" approach, uniting Business, IT, and Data.
📍Concrete example:End-to-end support for a CAC 40 energy group in structuring its data governance, leading to the operational implementation of its multi-entity Data Office: Strategic framework, operating model design, implementation in the data platform, creation of the first data governance community, launch of the first domains: Finance, Energy Management, Marketing, Single Customer View, Offers & Pricing Cockpit.
👉 Wondering about your data governance maturity? Need to structure an effective Data Office or align your data strategy with regulatory requirements?
Contact me for an exploratory discussion. An initial diagnosis will bring you clarity.
