Data management has been my focus throughout my career. My earlier DBA years taught me quickly that data was critical to all business processes. My “Data is an Asset” mantra came to me early, garnering me the title “the data guy” in many places I worked. I progressed from hands-on DBA roles to building out an enterprise information management department responsible for all of the DMBoK disciplines. I realized it did not matter what industry I worked in; the corporate data was central to where quality, accuracy, and business confidence were all paramount. I worked in many verticals, including utility, transportation, retail, government, and services. The last number of years has me as a hands-on enterprise information architect building corporate information models and integrating data discipline activities into business and IT processes. And, of course, all the while promoting data as the centre of the universe, using the DAMA DMBoK as an instruction guide.
