Looking for a freelance Data Governance / Data Management expertto reduce your costs related to poor data control or save time on driving your key initiatives (new Data Office, data domains network, ...)?
With 15+ years of experience in various fields (insurance, luxury, NGOs...), I can address the different pain points you are experiencing.
📊 Ex Lead Data Steward (AG2R): 10+ data domains transformed in 5 years, 20+ data owners / stewards coached.
🔥 Acting as Head of Data Governance (LVMH Fashion Division): framing & deployment of data governance and data quality strategy + launch of Data Factory
🚀 Unified data catalog for 6/8 LVMH Fashion houses.
💸 Reduction of costs related to data non-quality by 30% (LCBFT regulation at AG2R).
Most Data Governance experts:
Focus on theory, not on business and operational impact.
Forget that governance must serve revenue, reduce costs, or save you time. The result? Pretty but inapplicable frameworks, and wasted budgets.
👉My approach and the missions I undertake:
✅ Strategy & Framing: definition of Data Governance & Management roadmaps & operational models directly linked to business strategy.
✅ Boosting the "human" aspect of governance: training and mentoring key Business/IT stakeholders, continuous acculturation to break down silos and engage.
✅ Control of key or sensitive data scopes: (mapping, data quality rules and indicators, root cause analysis & remediation plan).
✅ Deployment of Data Catalog solutions (Datagalaxy, Collibra)
✅ Governance of AI and responsible initiatives (AI Act, CSRD)
👉 Let's discuss your next Data Governance quick win!
