Alex Tait

US Chief Data and Analytics Officer - Enterprise Data & Analytics

I’m a Data and Business Management professional with 25 years of experience working in retail banking, technology, operations and data-centric roles across many different Financial Services verticals.

My experience spans leading global operational teams to driving transformational change in systems, data and operational processes. I've operationalized large enterprise data management and sourcing programs and developed strategies to ensure organizations can harness the power of their data assets.. all while creating practical guardrails to mitigate risk (and ensure their data can be trusted!).

I’ve brought highly fragmented functions/technology together while overcoming organizational resistance. Even though I’ve led many operational teams, I’m a pragmatic thinker who has experience making the case for change and driving it to implementation. Solving business problems while creating a clear path-to-value is where I spend most of my time.

I’m a hybrid of a technologist, influencer, relationship manager, governance and policy maker, efficiency generator, paralegal, business manager, data evangelist and coach (phew!). I’ve built teams from the ground up, developed comprehensive data management strategies and introduced new capabilities.

I’m at my best when I’m learning about what makes businesses tick, nurturing new relationships, solving business challenges and contributing to the growth of a business.
