• Takes ownership of the digital & data domain, the process and products,
• Shows courage and stands for his/her vision, gets people on board by steering from their beliefs,
• Actively connects with all stakeholders, he/she collaborates with business, external suppliers, IT architects, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure a shared architectural vision. He/she is especially strong in organizing and mobilizing the organization to reach that joint vision.

• Strong experience with IT/OT data, data modelling, analytics, data lakes and related solutions, data governance, data management, master data management, and application and data integration
• Ability to motivate stakeholders to fit Digital and Data architecture into the company’s strategy. You do this by inspiration rather than through direct authority
