Sarah Anderson

Passionate about business growth, I have spent the last 8+ years leading data governance initiatives, building out process improvement, and providing technical support to organizations. My expertise lies in using my analytical and technical skills to interpret business requirements and create a governance/process/data layer design that incorporates best practices with a detailed understanding of the workings of the business.

In my most recent role, I was a Senior Data Governance Analyst at ABS, where I led the implementation of data governance/quality tools, develop governance policies, and designed classification processes to support compliance projects. Additionally, I managed team cohesion initiatives, onboarded new hires, and collaborated on data innovation projects while administering data catalog and agile methodologies.
