About Shankar S.

I build enterprise data governance programs that turn fragmented, siloed data into trusted, governed assets that organizations can rely on, for analytics, automation, compliance, and AI readiness.Over 20+ years I\'ve worked at the intersection of SAP platforms, data governance strategy, and enterprise operating models, spanning semiconductor manufacturing, supply chain, finance, and commercial domains. At GlobalFoundries I lead a large-scale transformation program, deploying SAP MDG across BP and MM domains, building Alation Data Catalog with custom OCF connectors, and institutionalizing data ownership, stewardship, and lineage frameworks across 15 functions globally.My background spans the full stack of enterprise data: SAP MDG configuration and BRF+ workflow design, Alation metadata management and connector development (Python/OCF), master data governance across ERP and legacy systems, critical data element definition, and cross-functional program delivery with C-suite and VP-level stakeholders.I\'m motivated by building things that last, governance frameworks, data models, and operating mechanisms that hold up under real operational pressure long after the initial program closes. Currently deepening my strategic leadership capabilities to expand from program execution into enterprise data strategy and organizational transformation.Core expertise: SAP MDG · S/4HANA · Alation · Master Data Management · Data Governance · Metadata Management · Data Lineage · OCF Connector Development · Python · ABAP · Cross-functional Program Management
