Matthew Christian
MSIM, 2015
In late 2022, Matthew reported: "My career in data management rapidly accelerated after completing the MSIM program. Starting from my Capstone, I fast-tracked my way into data engineering and digital transformation, and then on to launching a data governance program from scratch. I'm currently heavily involved in the digital transformation and data management practice for a major telecom provider, and I am consistently using the toolkit I developed from the MSIM program. This career path has exposed me more of the data world than I ever expected, and has opened up significant opportunities to step into progressively higher levels of responsibility at an accelerated rate."
