About Jacques Ferreira

My journey over the last five years has taken me deeper into the world of Scaled Agile in the context of the Data domain. I’ve joined the Deloitte Digital team in 2023 to help drive the establishment of an Agile Data Delivery Centre within an International humanitarian organisation and Programme Management of a Major Enterprise Data Management transformation programme at a large financial services organisation, introducing Scaled Agile Programme level practices and helping multiple teams / work streams plan and deliver against some exciting and aggressive objectives. Prior to this, i was able to help introduce the SAFE methodology to multiple data teams that formed part of a data program driving large-scale data lake migration (AWS), legacy data warehouse modernisation as well as enterprise data catalogue workstreams for South Africa's largest insurer. This involved enabling program prioritisation/demand practices by working with the Chief data officer and other senior stakeholders across the data, marketing/campaigns, IT and business areas and driving multiple ad-hoc initiatives aimed at solving complex business problems with cross-functional teams (Exco-level mandate). I have delivered major outcomes within the data programmes and had the privilege to coach various stakeholders on both a team and programme level (senior Management) within the Data Practice and in so doing mature the current Agile practices with the ultimate goal of delivering value consistently across all pillars of the programme. My "Every day" involves facilitating and managing multiple cross-functional teams of Data Engineers, Analytics and Data Management professionals that are geographically spread across South Africa, India and Europe.I hold an MBA from the University of Redding, UK
