Having started as part of the Digital team under Marketing/CX, she is now part of the core team comprising the Master Data COE organization for Kidde’s residential fire safety business. Cristin has built up her knowledge and practice around metadata, data governance, taxonomies, and many aspects of digital asset management and product information management over nearly two decades.
