Brian has led large-scale migrations (500K objects, multiple TBs) and driven measurable business outcomes like dramatically shortened change cycles and reduced component counts through global data standards. He is a hands-on mentor and community builder who established data governance, led cross-functional libraries, and ran communities of practice to surface systemic gaps.
