Information Management

As a business consultant I deliver consultancy within the information management and analysis area. Project management, business architecture, data analysis and information management strategy are examples of deliveries I have had in projects before.

Over the years I have had plenty of practical experience from all project phases, from basic systems analysis and requirements gathering, through prototyping and final implementation. In my latest role I have been defining a new role in the organization and setting the scope and plans for group wide information management and data governance. I have experiences from both banks and insurance companies.

I have had the possibility to work in different roles in different organizations, and have in all situations analyzed information and solved problems in a structured way. I am used to seeking and gathering information from different parts of the organization together with colleagues from different parts of the world. One of my strengths is the ability to see how the details contribute to the big picture. But I also have the ability to let go of the details when necessary to be able to move forward.

- Organized, analytical and pragmatic

- Strong combination of analysis, modelling and design of solution. Seeing both the business and the technology aspects of the implementation. Solutions oriented.

- Experienced in handling overall responsibility for analysis, requirements, master data and data quality.

I am working as a business analyst within a project to build an analysis and reporting platform. My work consists of setting business rules and transforming them into requirements for ETL processes on the Teradata platform, establish data quality checkpoints and processes for them and reconciling the solution against book keeping and official balance sheet figures.

 - Analysis and presentation of big data volumes
 - Design and requirements of validations and data quality improvements
 - Reconciliation routines against accounting

 - Treasury business processes and information needs
 - Working with large data volumes on the Teradata platform and Business Objects

The project established a new framework for funds transfer pricing. My work was to perform analysis regarding the composition of products and their need for funding and also establishing a platform for an automated way to do this.

 - Produce a business architecture for an internal interest engine within a DW/BI.
 - Communicate and quality assure the business architecture
 - Information modeling

 - Treasury business processes and information needs
 - Working with large data volumes on the Teradata platform

I participated in the pre-study as a business analyst and architect. Then I continued in the implementation phase as both sub project manager and business analyst. My area of the accounting infrastructure was primarily the design of transformations and master data solution.

 - Analysis and presentation of results and simulation of alternative outcomes
 - Define scope, plan and staff projects
 - Act upon potential risks and dependencies

 - Leading international projects with colleagues from different countries
 - Large projects with many deliverables and tight time plans
 - Presentation of results for both co-workers and management

WORK EXPERIENCE

First task was to define the CDO role and function in Swedbank and in Group BI working together with BI unit, enterprise architectures, business areas and group functions to align data governance initiatives on a group level. Then I formed the information management unit including about 30 people and laying the plans for implementation of a group wide information management. This included the start-up of defining a data strategy, i.e. the roles and responsibilities, processes and tools to support data requirements, business glossary, data quality and metadata such as lineage as well as assemble and coordinate regular business information forums.

I worked with analysis, requirements, and business architecture as well as project management. Participating in pre-studies, IT-development and business change mainly within the financial industry. I have worked in larger organizations where I am used to search and gather information from different units and divisions to get a group wide solution; often working together with colleagues from different parts of the world.

 - Analysis of information, presentation of results and suggesting actions.
 - Produce, quality assure and communicate a business architecture
 - Project management activities like setting scope, plan, staffing and follow up budget

 - Manage people in the project and their work. Getting the work done.
 - Building a common solution for a variety of inputs and outputs.
 - Building a solution that can handle a continuous change of scope and requirements.
 - Taking decisions regarding the solution where the facts are unclear and ambiguous.

EDUCATION

I have business administration as my main subject and choose to profile by taking IT related courses when possible. My essays dealt with a decision process before investing in an ERP system and another one examined to what degree Swedish authorities evaluated their IT investments.

I studied as exchange student for one semester and took courses in B2B marketing, supply chain management and Information Systems. Besides the studies I travelled a lot in the region and got many, many amusing and interesting experiences.
