   I am the co-founder of a digital consultancy that manages the implementation of product data services by my team and I. We perform Product Information Tool (PIM) implementations, PIM/MDM Analysis, Taxonomy Development, Product Data Modelling, Product Data System Integration recommendations, and end-to-end Product Data System analysis and consulting. Our goal is to overcome the challenges of collecting accurate, complete, consistent, valid product data, reduce friction points and data inconsistencies that lead to Chargebacks and customer returns, and reduce the cost of product data collection for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.I am involved in all aspects of the business, from sales cycle planning and recruitment to discovery and design sessions to implementation and post-project support, as well as supporting the teams within Aware before, during, and after the project.My team and I have implemented projects for companies as small as $200 million revenue per year to $5+ billion revenue per year. I assist in the strategic elements of planning and implementing end-to-end product data strategies, including data governance design, data remediation, and both product and web site navigation design.
