About Beñat

Data Governance & Enterprise Data Products Lead specialized in Palantir Foundry delivery and CDO-level execution.

Finalist of the Freelancers Got AI Talent Awards by Malt.

I design and operationalize data platforms that move beyond dashboards, building semantic layers and ontology-driven, governed data products embedded into core business operations.

Over the past years, I have led end-to-end delivery of enterprise data initiatives across energy, reinsurance, digital marketplaces and SaaS environments, acting as the bridge between Chief Data Officers and Data Directors, business stakeholders and engineering teams.

My focus is not only building data systems, but making them adoptable, governable and scalable.

  • Lead Data Governance operationalization programs.
  • Design enterprise data operating models.
  • Deliver Palantir Foundry-based operational applications.
  • Translate business workflows into ontology-driven data products.
  • Align data platforms with regulatory, compliance and security standards.
  • Enable adoption across asset management, finance, risk and operations teams.
