"Cara brings a depth of experience leading enterprise-wide data management and governance programs and implementation strategies that drive business and digital transformation," according to Steinmeier.

"Having worked both inside and outside of the financial services industry, she brings new perspectives along with valuable experience to help further shape the firm's digital strategies, data governance and enterprise information management," he said in the news release announcing her appointment.
