Having a 360-degree view of our customers helps us provide product recommendations and personalization to our customers.Can you give us a brief background about the different roles you have worked for in the past and how does that experience augment your role and responsibility at your current organization?I have been in the Data Analytics space for the last 18 years and I have seen a lot of shifts in this area from an on-prem DB for MIS reporting to long running batch processes, ETL, ELT, Data Lake, Data Mesh, etc. Technology is changing rapidly, and we all need to keep learning. I started my career as a Data Engineer and have played several roles like a BI Developer, Analytics Engineer, Analytics consultant, Analytics TPM, etc. All such experiences have enhanced my skills to work with C levels to understand the organization's vision and strategy and how data can support in achieving that. All these skills helped me connect with different leadership teams within Central Group to understand their vision and align our data strategy to help deliver that vision.As an ending note, what is your advice for other senior leaders and cxos working in the data and analytics industry?My recommendation to D&A Leaders would be to not just focus on the technology part of data but rather spend time with business leaders to understand their business strategy, challenges, and ambitions. Establishing strong collaboration and trust with business teams and leadership are going to be crucial to the success of Data Office. Once you have a clear understating of their strategy and kpis, try to align your data strategy with those ambitions and kpis. Delivering Analytics products attached to business strategy will see a much higher success and adoption rate to deliver real business value.
