"I did a lot of the backend, database, build, and data components. Perhaps not in the way people think of data today, but data governance, data quality, data privacy."
"I saw myself as a technology specialist. There's an opportunity to try something new, leading a data team. What if this doesn't work out and I derail my career because now I've gotten so far away from my core?"
"In the top three reasons of why big projects fail is one is data. I like the big picture. I like to know how the building blocks come together so that I can enable the outcome,"
"I took the risk and it paid dividends because ever since that moment on I've been in the data space."
Magan's formative career focused on software development, building systems and handling backend, database, build, and data components, including data governance, quality, and privacy. Recognized for mapping business needs to technical fundamentals, Magan was asked to relocate to the US to lead a major data project. The opportunity created a pivotal, risky decision between remaining a technology specialist and leading a data team. Curiosity and desire to be central to outcomes motivated the choice. A belief that data frequently causes project failure and a preference for understanding building blocks and enabling outcomes justified taking the risk, which led to a sustained career in the data space.
