Portrait of Maya Bouchard

The practitioner

Maya Bouchard

I connect enterprise technology decisions with the way an organisation serves customers, manages risk and gets work done. My experience spans systems modernisation, information governance and the development of technology operating models that business leaders can understand and support.
