I extend my gratitude to DataiQ for recognizing me among this distinguished cohort of 100 data and AI leaders across North America. Currently, I am privileged to serve as the Senior Director of Enterprise Data Strategy and Analytics Enablement at Novo Nordisk. In this capacity, I guide US strategic data partnerships, data governance, data capabilities, and analytics enablement. I am honored to be in this role, which affords me the unique opportunity to leverage data and advanced data capabilities to enhance the lives of the patients we serve. My tenure at Novo Nordisk commenced in 2011, following a career in consulting, where I served clients in the life sciences, healthcare, and telecommunications industries. Throughout most of my career, I occupied data-adjacent roles, but it was not until early 2018 that I formally embraced a data leadership role, assuming the position of Data Governance lead here at Novo Nordisk.
Recognizing the need for a more strategic approach to data as our company’s profile, performance, and needs evolved, Novo Nordisk entrusted me with the responsibility of transforming a small and effective governance team into a comprehensive data strategy and analytics enablement team, now encompassing enterprise-wide scope and responsibilities. My team has worked closely with our IT, Compliance, Privacy, and business leaders to construct a dynamic data environment and analytics capabilities that foster improved outcomes for our customers and partners. Today, we continue to develop a dynamic, high-performing data ecosystem unencumbered by technological limitations, while upholding rigorous governance and privacy protections over the data we manage and utilize.
As my esteemed former mentor, team member, and dear friend, whom we unfortunately lost last year, always said, “good data equals good business.”
