Known as The Data Governance Coach, Nicola helps organisations understand and manage their data better. For over two decades she has helped organisations reduce costs and inefficiencies. Typically, people turn to her because their data is a mess and they need help unravelling it, or because they realise that new initiatives are failing because of poor quality data. As well as providing coaching and consulting, she also runs training courses because she feels it is important to give people the skills to make sure that data is used to solve problems and make better informed decisions. Nicola initially worked for a leading UK Bank and moved into consultancy in 2009. Since then she has worked with clients across a wide range of sectors. Nicola was a Committee Member of DAMA UK for 13 years and she regularly writes, presents and creates videos, blogs and a podcast on data governance best practice.
