Chief Data Officer India · Global perspective

Making trusted data useful in consequential decisions.

I help enterprises turn data into a trusted part of how decisions are made. My work spans ownership, quality, analytics and responsible AI, with a focus on the business practices that allow technical capability to be used well.

Trusted data becomes valuable when people can use it responsibly in a decision. I connect ownership, quality and analytical capability to business purpose, with explicit limitations and human accountability for consequential uses.
