Boston-based EY Senior Manager in AI & Data for financial services (wealth and asset management), named a 2026 Snowflake Data Superhero; her visible profile is client-delivery and thought leadership on data strategy, environmental, social and governance (ESG) data and AI, not a public Snowflake technical-content trail. Index: [[snowflake-data-superheroes/index|index]].
Known for
- Data and AI strategy for wealth and asset managers at EY: her personal site lists enterprise data strategies on Snowflake and Azure, a data mesh implementation at a $2T assets-under-management (AUM) firm, M&A data integration ($1.7T AUM) and data governance design for $150B+ AUM organizations (personal site).
- ESG data and sustainable-finance products: EY bio says she leads ESG data and analytics advisory for financial services and is building "EY ESG Arena", an ESG and alternatives product for US wealth and asset managers (EY bio; EY insight).
- GenAI adoption in financial services: her site cites Microsoft/OpenAI tooling for investment compliance and "Responsible AI" as a core area (personal site); she describes leading global AI teams for FS clients, including chatbots and AI-driven marketing (Influential Women profile).

Path to recognition
- ~2016-2017: joined EY after a Product Specialist role at S&P Global Market Intelligence (LinkedIn search snippet; "nearly 9 years at EY", 10+ years in the field per Influential Women). Master's in Economics, Boston University (EY bio).
- 2022-2023: public thought leadership on ESG data for asset managers, LinkedIn posts and articles (e.g. ESG post, ~Dec 2022) and EY insight content (EY). Date of the post is inferred from the LinkedIn activity ID range (inference).
- 2023-2025: shift of title/positioning from "Financial Services Technology Consulting / ESG" to "AI and Data" (Influential Women; site).
- 2026: on the Snowflake Data Superheroes directory as Senior Manager - AI & Data, EY (directory); her site states "2026 Snowflake Data Superhero" (site). A LinkedIn post surfaced in search named her alongside EY colleagues Alexander Murugesan and Sofia Pierini as 2026 Data Superheroes (search snippet; exact post URL not verified).
- Reading: no visible public Snowflake community trail (forum, user group, Builders Blog, Summit talk) predates her selection. The likely basis is delivery of large Snowflake-based data platforms for FS clients at a Snowflake partner, plus EY-side nomination/advocacy (inference). For Ben, this is the "partner practitioner with named client outcomes" path rather than the "prolific content creator" path (inference).
Notes
- Directory card (scraped 2026-09-29): Senior Manager - AI & Data, EY.
- Directory member-since tag: 2026. Her site's "2026 Snowflake Data Superhero" line is consistent with a first cohort of 2026.
- Not on the 2025 Medium roster.
- 2026 membership is presumed from presence on the current directory; the directory (130) does not exactly equal the announced 2026 cohort (125). See [[_roster-notes]].
- Identity: EY bio, personal site, Influential Women profile and LinkedIn snippets all agree (EY, Boston, FS/wealth and asset management), so same-person risk is low. Confidence is medium only because the Snowflake-specific contribution record is thin.
- Blocked: LinkedIn profiles (HTTP 999), Medium via WebFetch (403; read via Playwright, one post visible).
- AI focus: yes at the strategy/adoption level (GenAI, Responsible AI, OpenAI tooling); no public Cortex or Snowflake agents work found.
