Duan Cato Digital Transformation Architect
I am currently operating as a Digital Transformation Architect with Sagard, a Canadian asset management firm, helping to lead enterprise technology strategy and implementation for several growth initiatives in the company.
I previously held the role of Engagement Manager with Black Diamond Advisory, a global consulting firm where I managed enterprise client relationships and project implementations. I also took on the role of Data Analytics Manager, leading the development of a Data Analytics integration and visualization product to smoothly facilitate presentation of corporate financial and operational data.
I have also worked as Enterprise Technology Applications Manager for Brookfield Asset Management, another preeminent global asset management company, where I led a global applications support team with responsibility for ongoing 24×7 service delivery of collaboration, financial, treasury and property management applications and database administration and management.
Prior to this, I operated as Corporate Applications Manager for DHL Americas, where I had responsibility for managing the team tasked with 24×7 service delivery of financial applications and database management for the North American region.
Over my career, I have worked extensively with stakeholders and partners to implement and develop corporate governance and oversight for applications across diverse technology and business sectors, as well as collaborate and provide support in areas such as enterprise application planning, audit compliance control adherence, business continuity and disaster recovery and vendor management.
I am PMP certified, with a Bachelor in Computer Science and Master in Information Systems, and still maintain my programming skill set, coding extensively in Python, PHP and Java. When not working with technology, I am an extensive traveler, and enjoy seeing new places, people and cultures.
