Summary
Open to roles as a part-time advisor or consultant.
An experienced consultant and strategy adviser, with 40 years experience in optimizing high value data to create Data Products that deliver insights and revenue. Prioritizing governance, compliance and minimizing data costs.
With a diverse background, I combine business and technology consulting; demystifying data for business and explaining key business metrics and requirements to technology teams. Experienced advisor at board level especially within banking - representing those firms when working alongside Auditors, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), & Financial Ombudsman (FOS).
I have enjoyed delivering for a wide range of industries including finance, automotive, and healthcare; with businesses ranging from micro to the world's largest banks. My past roles encompassed: Enterprise, Data & Solution Architect, Data Science & Analytics, Intellectual Property Inventor, Project Manager / Reviewer, Technical Lead, Risk & Compliance Specialist, Technical Sales & Marketing.
Lucky to be of the generation that loved personal computers as a teenager - but more so that those computers did nothing unless one coded. Yes, I am still happily coding today – currently writing JavaScript in a cloud to collate data that feeds investment and trading algorithms :)
