OLEKSANDR ZHUKOV

President of the NGO "DAMA Ukraine Kyiv"

Member of the Board of Directors of DAMA International®

Data Governance Practice Lead, Softserve

Hello! My name is Alex and I am building a community of like-minded people in Data Governance.

My goal is to change people's relationship with data in a way that has impact on a corporate, national, and global scale.

With over 10 years of experience in IT, I have implemented over 30 successful projects. As the Head of Data Governance practice at Softserve, I have experience working and implementing Data Governance for clients in various fields. I have learned from my own experience that having certifications such as CDMP® (Certified Data Management Professional) and TOGAF® 9 is not just a formality, but real skills and knowledge that give an advantage.

As a member of the Board of Directors of DAMA International® and President of DAMA Ukraine Kyiv, I am actively involved in increasing the level of maturity in data management in Ukraine and internationally.

VALUES

Trust

Data Governance is about trust in data and trust in those who care for it

Value

Every record in a database has value. You just need to be able to measure it.

Systematicity

Data governance is a connected system of people, technology, and processes whose purpose is to use data to achieve a goal.

Measurability

It is difficult to assess results without agreement on how to measure success. This applies to the success and effectiveness of Data Governance

Practicality

Theory and practice in data management complement each other and should exist in harmony.

Office Setup

I had the chance to work with Alex during his time as a Data & Analytics Solutions Architect and Data Governance expert, where he played a key role in shaping and delivering our Data Governance initiatives. From the presales stage through implementation, Alex demonstrated ownership and technical expertise, ensuring each engagement was both strategically sound and technically robust.

What stands out most about Alex is his deep passion for the Data Governance domain and his ability to translate that enthusiasm into real impact — both in client projects and within the Data Governance community. His efforts in establishing and growing our Data Governance practice, created a strong foundation for future projects and team development.
