Travelers
Senior Director, Data Managment
I oversee a Team responsible for the execution of data governance, data quality and data knowledge ntegration processes.
In Data Management, we enable insight into Travelers' complex network of systems and data flow. In that context, we may be working with the business to drive out business definitions for particular data fields, connecting multiple data stores to depict impact analysis between systems, or measuring data quality content in our important data resources. There is a large variety of work each day, providing good connection to our business and IT partners.
