Honesty is one of the key values I admire and many others. When interviewing or delivering projects. If you don't know something I would rather hear that, then have someone try and fumble an answer together. Being open and honest demonstrates a level of integrity!

What do you like about your job and the company?
Our current data estate contains multiple sources of the same data, often in a state that does not provide much value at times. I am working across multiple transformation programs which will completely change how we categorise our data and surface this to our end users so that they can maximise value from our data. Our aim is to build a series of trusted data products which in turn improves our management of data governance within BA.
Greatest achievements
When I joined British Airways, our department was only beginning it's journey into the adoption of agile practices. I implemented a series of agile methodologies within my team to improve our planning, prioritisation and overall delivery of key initiatives. These changes gave more over-sight to my stakeholders on how we are operating giving them further confidence in our ability to deliver.

My career at British Airways has been varied. It would be my 10th year in the company, including my 6 month hiatus. In BA it is very normal to stay in the company for decades. I never understood it until I left. I was desperate to try something new, and I thought that meant leaving the company. The great thing about working for a large organisation, is that there are various roles within the company. I never thought I would end up in Engineering, but it has been the best decision. Network, get to know other departments, because there really is something available for everyone in this company. Look at the careers page for inspiration and read the job description and advert, as some titles can be misleading! I was not afraid to leave BA for another reputable company, and I was not afraid to come back after 6 months. Try something new until you get what you are looking for.
