Hi Everybody,

Have you ever heard the expression of "being in the right place at the right time"?  Well every once in a while that seems to happen.  Right now could be one of those moments. 

I am working with a client in the Denver area that is looking to quickly hire the "best" candidate to fill their Director of Data Governance position.  This is a large organization with staff, facilities and of course, data across the country.  The hiring company is looking for a full-time hire that has experience implementing Data Governance Programs for a large organization and is well versed in building senior management relationships and enabling communications that will lead to a successful program.

If you are interested in learning more about this position, please contact me through TDAN.com or KIK Consulting or go directly to the organization's job posting on their web-site.

Thank you very much for your interest.
