• Drive knowledge sharing with the Data Academy: Collaborate with the Academy to scale data literacy, facilitate internal meetups, and ensure documentation, learning paths, and tutorials reach the right audience.
• Monitor ecosystem health and drive improvement: Track patterns in support, community engagement, and satisfaction. Use these insights to guide improvements and scale successful practices.
