Ensure data models, definitions, and processes are integrated into platform workflows to drive consistency and efficiency. 

• Data Quality and Metrics: Implement tools and processes to monitor and report on data quality within the platform, and enhance data management practices. Define key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the impact of data governance initiatives on platform performance, driving continuous improvements in data accuracy and consistency. 

• Data Democratization: Work with IT and BI teams to facilitate secure, self-service access to governed data on the platform. Enable business users to confidently leverage platform data while ensuring compliance with governance policies, fostering a data-driven culture. 

• Compliance and Risk Management: Ensure platform data practices comply with relevant regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR). Identify data-related risks within platform workflows and collaborate with Legal, IT, and Compliance teams to mitigate these risks through governance controls.
