Bio
Simon Bartels
Emily is a dynamo in any IT project, as well as being an experienced DW technical architect and Teradata technical architect. She seems to know how IT works in large corporations and really helps get projects moving. Emily is not afraid to approach anyone she needs to in order to get the job done, and is very proactive in this regard. Emily has led tender and selection efforts for significant new technologies, developed solution and architecture roadmaps including Customer Data Interchange hub (part of MDM), provided valuable peer review of architecture artefacts, solution designs, project schedule/management, interdependency considerations, and so on, all in her inimitable bright and engaging manner. I have worked in the same team as Emily for about 4 years and found her to be a professional and competent business intelligence (BI) architect, and would strongly recommend her as such.

I worked within Emily's architectural vision, happily, for more than 4 years. In that time, I found her vision for the direction of the warehouse environment we were working on compelling, and her commitment was never lacking, always making time to educate and advise, very appropriately. I have seen her present to senior management the most technical points and their pro and con arguments astutely, and in my own view, deliver back the optimal result for the organisation. For my own part, if ever I had the temerity to question the course or direction as advocated by Emily, I found myself won over by a accurate, poignantly put, argument, such that I have never been outside a sphere of professional admiration for my past colleague. Emily is an asset to any organisation which is able to attract her, and I'd love to work with her again.
