WORK HISTORY
Portfolio Manager - Data & Analytics @Whitbread
I lead Data & Analytics portfolios with a \"Quality-First\" mindset. In an era where AI and ML are only as good as the data feeding them, I leverage my background in Test Management and Quality Assurance to ensure every insight is backed by a rigorous, validated pipeline.From breaking systems to find their limits (QA) to building systems that transcend them (Data Management) to manage the portfolio handling Data, I specialize in navigating the high-stakes intersection of large-scale data migration, predictive analytics, and governance. I don\'t just oversee timelines; I oversee the structural integrity of the solution.Implementing \"Shift-Left\" testing methodologies within data engineering sprints to reduce technical debt adds to managing the data portfolio with strong governance.
