When one door closes …

The famous saying is that when one door closes, a window opens.  Such is the case with my career in data management.  I have hung up my consulting cleats and have donned the headset of product management. 

I will be joining the world class team at Informatica to take the Data Explorer product to the next level.  Data Explorer (DE) is a profiling and discovery engine that focusing on the reporting of data distributions and metadata definition.

There could be no better place for me to land than Informatica.  I have been working with their products for close to 6 years now and find them among the easiest to learn and use in the marketplace.

I intend on using my knowledge gained as a consultant performing countless implementations to enhance the product through increased functionality, usability and transfer of functions with numerous products such as PowerCenter, Lifecycle Management, Metadata Manager, and, of course,  Data Quality.

I’d like to extend my gratitude to the colleagues and clients that have helped me get to this point in my career. 

With this move comes a shift for the blog.  I will primarily focus on those topic areas that influence or affect data discovery.  I’ll post updates about the Data Explorer product and poll the masses for ideas and feedback. 

I hope you enjoy the new and exciting path I am about to embark on as much as I will!
