Background

About Perry Ham

I am a leader in data governance, automation, and operational technology with a record of achieving measurable results across industries. My career began in Lean engineering at Toyota, where I developed a foundation in precision, discipline, and process improvement. That experience now informs my work in connecting engineering logic, IT systems, and business operations into one strategy at Metrolinx. At Metrolinx, I have advanced the data and governance business in meaningful ways. I identified opportunities beyond established practices and delivered results that created lasting value. My work has: 1. Increased compliance of critical datasets from 13 percent to 100 percent, restoring trust in analytics and supporting real-time decision making. Delivered automation solutions that removed thousands of hours of manual work, reduced errors by 90 percent, and generated more than $1M in annual savings. Strengthened vendor accountability through structured governance, ensuring SLA compliance and improving service reliability. Led Lean A3 initiatives that reduced unapproved overtime by 93 percent within three months, cutting non-compliance from 11 percent to under 1 percent. Standardized 71 KPIs across 12 business units to establish a single, reliable source of truth for executive reporting. I create value by anticipating what is next and by building strategies that drive results at scale. I established KPIs for my entire team, not only to measure productivity but to shape collective performance and alignment with divisional goals. I have shown that leadership is not limited to authority but built on collaboration, consistency, and clear direction. My leadership is balanced with humility and accountability. I have taken on new challenges, guided enterprise-level groups, and delivered outcomes that reflect both strategic thinking and execution strength. As a PMP® certified professional, I combine disciplined project leadership with data-driven governance and automation expertise to deliver sustainable outcomes that strengthen organizational performance.
