About Aparna B

I am a Data & AI leader with 15+ years of experience building enterprise-scale data platforms, leading global analytics transformations, and translating data and AI innovation into measurable business impact. I specialize in defining data strategy, modernizing analytics ecosystems, and enabling self-service BI and AI capabilities at scale—while building high-performing, zero-attrition teams.I currently lead large, cross-functional data initiatives, including the design of LaSalle’s Unified Data Platform (UDP), where I architected the global data model and end-to-end data flow to migrate legacy systems to an Azure lakehouse—resulted in significant savings in infrastructure and licensing cost. I have led global data migration programs by aligning Product, Analytics, and Application teams and executing phased, risk-controlled rollouts. My work spans data governance, architecture standards, platform roadmaps, and enterprise delivery with 100% on-time execution and zero rollback rates.My focus is on building durable data foundations and future-ready AI capabilities. I introduced modern data quality frameworks using Databricks DQX, implemented automated BI pipelines to eliminate manual reporting overhead, and deployed GenAI capabilities such as Databricks Genie APIs to enable text-to-SQL.I am passionate about building data and AI platforms that are not just technically robust, but strategically aligned, business-driven, and designed to scale.https://github.com/AparnaBhamidipati
