A bit about myself

Jacky Zhang

I persistently deliver success no matter the challenge. Unafraid of taking charge while maintaining a collaborative environment for the teams I manage, I embody strong leadership with a hands-on technical approach.

I'm currently the Data Manager at Allied Technical Solutions, overseeing the team that builds and maintains the data foundation behind all of the company's services and products.

With proven mastery across multiple industries — from Emmy-winning entertainment studios to Ontario government systems — I aspire to forever push the boundaries of technology and deliver meaningful impact.
