As Global Chief Data Officer at Belron International, I bring extensive experience in data-driven transformation. I began my career in finance, where I recognised the significance of data in achieving operational excellence and enhancing business performance. I have led numerous large-scale information strategies and programmes across various service and retail sectors, delivering innovative solutions that create value through new business models and growth opportunities.
At Belron, I have played a key role in promoting data literacy. I implemented a multi-tool approach that includes learning academies, community initiatives, change networks, and leadership workshops. This fosters a data-driven decision-making and problem-solving culture, enhancing the skills and competencies of both data teams and business stakeholders.
My leadership has focused on attracting, engaging, retaining, and developing talent with the skills and curiosity needed to leverage data for value and change. I continue to build a solid data foundation that emphasises trust, understanding, access, compliance, and value optimisation while embracing new tools, such as artificial intelligence and generative AI.
