Describe your career to date

I have had a three-phase career. Started as a research engineering in aviation and data programs, then was part of several startups in data and search, and then moved into business intelligence and machine learning apps product development in F200 companies. Most recently, was promoted to chief data officer of ADP, getting the opportunity to lead data programs for the world’s largest Human Capital Management company. 

What stage has your organization reached on its data maturity journey?

We are shipping data products, using data to increase sales and optimize operations – but still have a long way to go! 

 

Tell us about the data and analytics resources you are responsible for

Our team sits in product and innovation, and we work across all of our development teams and business units to enable teams. We model ourselves as a hub and spoke approach, so there are many more people doing analytics throughout the company. 

What challenges do you see for data in the year ahead that will have an impact on your organization and on the industry as a whole? 

Keeping pace with the industry’s innovations in data and AI, in particular the newer large language models, while maintaining security, privacy and compliance our clients rightfully expect. 

 

Have you set out a vision for data? If so, what is it aiming for and does it embrace the whole organization or just the data function?

Our vision is to push data advantages to the full extent of our products and operations so that our clients and their employees get maximum benefit from ADP. 

 

Have you been able to fix the data foundations of your organization, particularly with regard to data quality?

We are making good moves forward on data quality, data freshness, and overall data quality of service. Our foundations are constantly improving as our organization grows.
