Our Team

The Go-to-Market Capabilities (GTMC) organization aims to centralize Go-to-Market excellence and operational tasks across GBUs, standardizing best-in-class capabilities with strengthened global support while establishing clear ways of working to optimize process excellence and efficiency.

Strategic Context

Leads the design and operation of enterprise data operations capabilities that enable high-quality, governed, and AI-ready data across all commercial data domains.

Accountable for delivering scalable, reusable data services (data quality, metadata, reference data, observability) that are consumed across the CDM data mesh.

Operates as a senior individual contributor with broad cross-functional influence, driving execution through domain teams, platform teams, and shared/offshore resources rather than direct people management.
 

Scope & Impact

• Enterprise horizontal scope across all commercial data domains (e.g., Customer, Product, Omnichannel, Business Performance, Business Dynamics)

• Owns capabilities that underpin all CDM data products, not a single domain

• Direct impact on data reliability, regulatory compliance, and AI readiness

• Influences standards, tooling, and operating models across CDM and enterprise data programs (e.g., USDF / OneMesh)

• Establishes cross-domain standards for data quality, metadata, reference data, and observability

• Represents Data Operations in enterprise governance and methodology forums

2. Enterprise Data Quality Management

• Owns the data quality framework (rules, scorecards, defect taxonomy, remediation workflows)

• Drives consistent adoption across all domains

• Leads root cause analysis and resolution for material data issues

• Advances automation and AI-enabled monitoring to improve coverage and efficiency

3. Reference Data & MDM Enablement

• Owns enterprise reference data services (hierarchies, code sets, classifications)

• Ensures controlled change management and downstream impact management

• Partners with MDM teams to maintain consistent master and reference data across systems

4. Metadata Management & Data Catalog

• Leads the data catalog and business glossary capability

• Ensures data discoverability, clear definitions, and lineage visibility

• Develops the semantic layer that supports analytics and AI use cases

5. Data Observability

• Establishes monitoring for pipeline health, data freshness, completeness, and anomalies

• Defines incident response models, SLAs, and operational runbooks

• Improves proactive detection and resolution of data issues

6. AI-Enabled Data Operations

• Identifies and deploys AI/ML use cases to scale data operations (e.g., anomaly detection, metadata enrichment)

• Ensures governance, auditability, and compliance of AI-enabled processes

• Drives requirements for AI-ready data products (quality, metadata, structure)

7. Governance & Standards Enablement

• Defines data contracts, certification standards, and operating processes across domains

• Establishes and tracks KPIs and maturity metrics

• Partners with Legal, Compliance, and Technology to ensure adherence to regulatory standards

8. Matrixed Execution Leadership
