Oversee data extraction, transformation, mapping, validation and migration from legacy systems. Lead data cleansing, reconciliation and quality assurance activities to ensure accurate and complete migration. Manage migration risks, issues and defects, supporting resolution through testing, rehearsal and go-live. Coordinate migration testing, including mock migrations, dress rehearsals and final cutover.
