Establish and maintain the governance model, roles, responsibilities, decision forums, and escalation paths needed to support enterprise information management practices.
Drive adoption of standards for document and information handling, including record identification, retention requirements, sensitivity labeling, document purpose, sharing permissions, download/copy restrictions, and lifecycle management.
Partner with business unit leaders and designated data owners to assess current-state practices, identify gaps, define remediation plans, and track business progress toward compliance and housekeeping objectives.

Coordinate with Legal, Compliance, Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Internal Audit to ensure the program supports regulatory obligations, defensible discovery, data minimization, and incident readiness.
Oversee development of repeatable processes and playbooks for data discovery, audit response, cyber response support, tabletop exercises, and preparedness simulations.
Drive cross-functional planning for data protection capabilities supported by Microsoft Purview and related platforms, ensuring alignment between business requirements and technical control implementation.
