    From chaos to clarity : Turning your data(bricks) into a competitive advantage

    I am Bianca Stratulat, a Databricks Champion and Chief Data Officer with a track record of delivering high-impact data transformations across public and private sectors. With deep expertise in Databricks architecture, large-scale migrations, and AI/ML enablement, I help organisations move from fragmented, underperforming data environments to governed, high-performing lakehouse platforms.

    What sets me apart is my ability to bridge business strategy and technical delivery, aligning advanced data capabilities with real-world outcomes. I have led multi-region platform deployments, accelerated time-to-insight from months to days, and enabled teams to harness AI-ready data with confidence.

    Whether it is modernising existing pipelines, migrating from legacy databases to Databricks, or building end-to-end data products, I bring both the hands-on technical skills and strategic vision to make data work harder, faster, and smarter for your business.
