Madeleine Arama
Head of Data Management

I believe data should serve people, not slow them down.

At Caledonia, Madeleine Arama focuses on turning complex information into clear insight. She ensures that data is secure, structured and ready for action, supporting decisions rather than complicating them. This is the foundation of her approach to effective data management.

Madeleine Arama is Head of Data Management at Caledonia Financial Group. She leads the strategy and implementation of how data is governed, protected and applied across the organisation. With a strong background in enterprise data and digital infrastructure, she ensures Caledonia’s systems are reliable, intelligent and aligned with business goals.

Her work covers everything from data architecture and quality control to cloud integration and regulatory compliance. She is also responsible for supporting AI, analytics and reporting through secure and scalable data platforms. Working across departments, Madeleine helps embed a culture of data clarity that supports long-term innovation.

She has always been drawn to the challenge of making complex systems work. From a young age, she developed a strong interest in how data could be used to improve communication, planning and performance. That curiosity shaped her studies in data science and information management, and it continues to guide her work at the intersection of people, process and technology.

Madeleine brings over 20 years of experience in digital and data leadership. Before joining Caledonia, she led data programmes at a global financial institution, where she oversaw cloud-first strategy, cross-border compliance and the development of analytics-ready infrastructure.

Her expertise includes data governance, metadata control, cloud platforms, ETL pipelines, data privacy and secure architecture. She has built and led teams of engineers, analysts and data stewards, all focused on making information more usable and more valuable. At Caledonia, Madeleine is building a data environment that is structured, compliant and designed to support insight at scale.
