Your mission will be…
Lead Siemens' data-driven transformation by spearheading the data governance program within Smart Infrastructure.
Drive the execution of Siemens' data governance strategy by implementing its vision, mission, and framework across the organization.
Promote cross-domain data governance, data quality, and data protection standards and processes and prepare recommendations for relevant boards

Foster a data governance community within Siemens Smart Infrastructure, providing guidance to business units and support functions in establishing their own data stewardship communities and collaboration models.
Serve as a trusted advisor to data owners, data stewards, and process owners by acting as the central point of contact for functional data governance. Empower them to adopt best practices within their data domains and accelerate adoption through expert guidance.
Collaborate closely with enterprise and domain architects to ensure data governance is seamlessly embedded into data architecture and platform design, aligning with robust and scalable architectural principles
Engage with key stakeholders across Smart Infrastructure—including business, strategy, IT, and Cybersecurity—to promote continuous improvement and ensure adherence to data governance standards and policies.
Support initiatives related to data integration, advanced analytics, AI acceleration and adoption, OT/IT convergence, and the development of API frameworks and integration strategies.
Continuously refine governance strategies based on stakeholder feedback and evolving business needs.
