Adriano Marini
Director of Sales and Customer Success, Cadence Solutions
Adriano Marini is a respected leader in data governance, records management, and information risk management, helping organisations bring order, accountability, and clarity to their Microsoft 365 environments. As Director, Sales and Customer Success at Cadence Solutions, Adriano works closely with executive, legal, privacy, records, and IT stakeholders to design governance models that hold up in the real world, not just on paper.
Adriano is known for his practical, no nonsense approach to governance: tackling oversharing, unclear ownership, legacy data sprawl, and inconsistent retention before they become business or compliance risks. His work focuses on establishing strong information foundations, including classification, ownership, protection, and defensible records practices that enable organisations to adopt modern tools responsibly and with confidence. Rather than leading with technology for technology’s sake, Adriano emphasizes governance first by ensuring organisations understand their data, control it appropriately, and can stand behind their decisions as new capabilities are introduced.
Adriano spent six years at a large worldwide consultancy, where he focused on data governance and data analytics, supporting organisations as they navigated complex data environments, regulatory expectations, and enterprise scale transformation. Building on that foundation, Adriano transitioned to Cadence Solutions, where he continues to work closely with clients in the same domain, helping organisations strengthen their data governance, records management, and data protection practices within Microsoft 365. He plays a key role in growing and supporting Cadence’s focused solutions in data governance and data protection, ensuring they remain practical, defensible, and aligned to real world client needs.
