Unforgettable 6 years. Kudos to Guido Kurth and Christian Kiock, the two founders of bdg, who gave me the chance to start as a newcomer in the data and BI bubble in 2016.

OC Tanner Company GmbH

Awesome. Making employee appreciation so huge! An absolute topic of the heart for me still today. People want to be valued. That's exactly what I brought into the conversation together with a colleague in companies. Together with EU Headquarters, we built up OC Tanner's presence in Germany. From the office to the first visuals to marketing campaigns, we worked intensively with our colleagues in the UK and the headquarters in the USA to bring the topic forward. Unfortunately, we realized that the topic was still too new for the DACH market. Failure is part of the game :-)

Monster Worldwide

In my position as Key Account Manager, I also quickly took on additional responsibility as Sales Group Coordinator and provided professional support to colleagues.

Sales Group Coordinator Enterprise Business

The last station at Monster was my absolute dream position. Working with key accounts from various industries, both in new business and in the renewal area > €1 million/year, was the absolute highlight of my career at monster.de. In this position, too, it was great working with the team and a Manager who I am still grateful to today for recognizing my potential.

Key Account Manager Automotive, Healthcare, Chemical & Pharma

During my long journey at monster.de, I was responsible in this position for customers from the SME sector in Baden-Württemberg. Through the many trips to visit customers, I was able to meet many interesting people who were just as passionate about HR and recruiting as I was. In this position I also quickly took on additional responsibility and was able to support the sales team as a Team Coordinator.

Senior Consultant Sales & Team Coordinator

My first station in a steep career at monster.de. Starting in telesales Austria, I was very quickly given responsibility for larger customers in the enterprise business. I particularly remember the good cooperation with my colleagues in Vienna. The many trips to Austria were an absolute enrichment and awakened my passion for a wonderful country and super nice people there.

I 🧡  Data Performance

I love data and am happy every time I can help companies generate added value from their data. Data performance helps companies in many ways: e.g. increasing sales, reducing costs, process automation, digitalization, higher quality of products and services.

Data Performance has many facets and looks different in every company.

Just write to me if you want to exchange ideas about Data Performance.

Susan Walsh - The Classification Guru

The Classification Guru Ltd

I love improving the quality of procurement spend data, giving teams clarity so they can make better business decisions and cost savings.

Why not let me take the pain out of laborious data issues and make your life easier?

Whether it's a small or large data set, the accuracy can be improved by identifying classification errors, conflicts or gaps. I can provide a data verification service to efficiently find and correct these in a fraction of the time it would take you or a team member.

And a crucial part of having accurate data is also working with a comprehensive taxonomy, something that can be easily overlooked. I can provide a taxonomy development service to ensure you have all the vital areas covered for the greatest visibility - job done!

If you struggle with the time, resources or willingness to tackle your data, why not get in touch to see how I can make your life easier.

Data Collaboration Alliance

I am a member of the Advisory Committee at the Data Collaboration Alliance, a nonprofit organization that’s dedicated to establishing CONTROL as the basis for meaningful Data Ownership and global Collaborative Intelligence. Our approach of eliminating data silos and copy-based data integration is similar to how societies already protect the value of their currency, identities, and intellectual property - and it works for data, too. My fellow advisors include the Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation and the ex-CIO of Dropbox. I'm also a contributor to the Data Collaboration Community which offers open datasets, free tools, and free training in the data-centric skills of the future.

Dirty data is a problem that costs businesses thousands, if not millions, every year. In organisations large and small across the globe you will hear talk of data quality issues. What you will rarely hear about is the consequences or how to fix it.

Between the Spreadsheets: Classifying and Fixing Dirty Data draws on classification expert Susan Walsh's decade of experience in data classification to present a fool-proof method for cleaning and classifying your data. The book covers everything from the very basics of data classification to normalisation, taxonomies and presents the author's proven COAT methodology, helping ensure an organisation's data is Consistent, Organised, Accurate and Trustworthy. A series of data horror stories outlines what can go wrong in managing data, and if it does, how it can be fixed.

After reading this book, regardless of your level of experience, not only will you be able to work with your data more efficiently, but you will also understand the impact the work you do with it has, and how it affects the rest of the organisation.

Written in an engaging and highly practical manner, Between the Spreadsheets gives readers of all levels a deep understanding of the dangers of dirty data and the confidence and skills to work more efficiently and effectively with it.

Are you struggling to get reliable insights from your data?  Do you have duplicates, multiple versions of the same supplier or customer, and multiple date and address formats?  And is it saved in multiple different systems?

The Classification Guru can help.

If you’re in procurement, do you find it hard to see how much you are really spending with one supplier, and on what?  Have you got free text descriptions which mean you have multiple versions of the same item, often misspelt and not against the correct GL or categorisation? How can you make the best negotiations with your suppliers, the biggest cost savings, or manage your supplier list if you don’t have the correct information?

Or if you work in sales or marketing, is your CRM full of junk data, poorly formatted and even missing information, and maybe saved in multiple different systems?  Your team could be wasting time contacting redundant leads, or worse you could be sending out expensive print out to the same address twice, or addresses that don’t even exist.

We bring clarity and accuracy to data and help teams work more effectively and efficiently, finding cost savings through spend and time management, supporting better, more informed business decisions, delivering a strong ROI and delivering back to your organisation faster and more cost-effectively than using large consultancies or spend analytics providers.

While most people dread having to classify or cleanse data, my team and I love it! We are hugely passionate about providing clients with accurate and meaningful data, and because I have been doing this for a decade, I can do this much faster and more accurately than people who might look at their data infrequently.

We can help prevent costly mistakes from happening.

There are many solutions available to automate data classification, but these are never 100% accurate. I've developed a method that my team use to efficiently and accurately classify, cleanse and verify data to minimise the errors in the same amount of time.

When working with large volumes of data it's hard to spot these errors even if you know what you're looking for and especially in Excel, let alone if you don't. With my team and I’s knowledge, experience and tools we can do this for you, freeing up your internal resources.
