About Paula Garzon
I am a data governance and analytics professional with over 14 years of experience in business intelligence, data strategy, and data storytelling. I specialize in bringing order to data chaos—ensuring data is accurate, well-documented, and accessible while driving strategic decision-making.With a strong foundation in data stewardship, I help organizations improve data quality, and align governance with business objectives. I thrive on solving complex data challenges, whether it\'s mapping data ecosystems, defining governance policies, or making sense of structured and unstructured data.At my core, I’m passionate about turning raw data into clarity—whether through governance practices that ensure trust in data or crafting compelling narratives and visualizations that make insights actionable. I believe that good data governance isn’t just about compliance—it’s about unlocking the full potential of data to drive impact and innovation.
