One of the challenges in my role today is transforming our data and analytics function from a traditional data management function to a strategic driver of business outcomes. This shift is complex, requiring a fundamental change in mindset, upskilling across the organisation, and a realignment of priorities to focus on creating a data products and services portfolio.

I measure success as a leader by the growth and success of my team, making sure they're motivated and engaged.

At the end of the day, if my team is thriving, I know I'm on the right track.
