Gina Harris

Gina Harris has long since found success and stability working in the ever-changing world of technology and specifically, data management. Along with proven expertise in systems and data, she brings entrepreneurial experience in helping organizations establish a solid data foundation to better understand and improve their business.

Gina bemoans the fact that “Data Governance” is such a formal-sounding and widely misunderstood term, one whose mention can spark concern or inhibit progress. To her, data governance is all about understanding the data so it can be trusted and used appropriately, according to company policies.

Though that sounds easy enough, it can be a significant challenge considering the volumes of data possessed by her clients. Adding to the complexity is the data’s origins, how or where it’s been stored, its age, and much more. No matter the origin, Gina’s role is to lead teams and projects using both established and cutting-edge applications like the Informatica suite, where she holds several certifications, to help clients solve business problems or respond to inquiries.

Once cataloged and tagged with data domains, the data is subject to rules, policies, procedures, and documentation, making it easy to find and monitor for dependability.
