In year 2018 & 2019 I had the great pleasure to work with Lara Gureje on a global bank wide program towards ensuring that the bank met global regulatory demands by adhering to BCBS 239 for strengthening the bank’s risk data aggregation capabilities and internal risk reporting practices across EDMS (Enterprise Data Management & Solutions).

As Business Owner of the project, Lara’s vast knowledge of the data governance & financial regulatory world made this role a perfect fit and she was dedicated to ensuring the overall success bringing much needed urgency and awareness to all related parties that this program touched on at the bank.

Lara demonstrated tremendous focus and perseverance on the project with her leadership to operationalize Data Governance & Stewardship even while the organization was undergoing major structural and resource changes that posed a risk to our team’s ability to meet delivery dates. Lara’s conviction to remain calm, driven and proactive to new and upcoming changes kept the project momentum going in strenuous circumstances. While partnering with Lara, I learned a great deal about data management, governance and building cumulative responsibilities of stewardship around enterprise data.  I looked to her as a data management champion & evangelist and enjoyed her passion and ability to eloquently explain data complexities and describe our company’s overall data goals and the importance of successful data management to our business partners and to our parent company.

Lara is definitely a prized asset to any company looking to establish, tighten, accelerate and optimize their data governance, stewardship, processes, structure, tools and reporting for the overall organization strategic goals.  I enjoyed my working experience with Lara and highly recommend her exceptional skillset in both data management & regulatory space for any organization looking to optimize their competing regulatory demands with a successful Data Governance & Stewardship adoption.

Thank you,
