  • Drive implementation of marketplace capabilities supporting data distribution, API enablement, MCP development, governed MCP access, and additional consumer access channels.
  • Create an integrated data value lifecycle that connects foundational data platforms, curated assets, semantic services, context management, distribution mechanisms, and consumer-facing experiences.
  • Partner with AI Engineering and Cyan stakeholders to enable scalable access to authoritative data, business semantics, and contextual intelligence through reusable and governed patterns.
  • Establish enterprise standards and technical patterns for APIs, events, data sharing, semantic access, and MCP-based consumption, including associated controls, operational expectations, and delivery practices.
  • Drive consistency across key business domains by partnering with data owners and engineering teams to resolve data definition, lineage, mastering, reference data, and source-of-truth decisions.
  • Own and manage the cross-LENSai Data Intelligence roadmap, including dependency management, capability sequencing, implementation priorities, and enterprise adoption planning.
  • Develop performance measures and operating mechanisms that monitor reuse, trust, consumer adoption, time-to-consumption, and business value realization.
  • Partner with architecture, security, risk, governance, and technology leaders to ensure Data Intelligence capabilities meet security, resiliency, observability, compliance, and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead executive communications, governance forums, and decision-making processes related to Data Intelligence investments, priorities, tradeoffs, and business outcomes.
  • Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions and vendor solutions that support semantic, context, metadata, data consumption, integration, and intelligence marketplace objectives.
