Dr. Patty Zakaria

Patty Zakaria is a data analytics scholar whose work focuses on how data, evidence, and analytical reasoning can improve institutional performance, organizational decision-making, and governance systems. With more than two decades of research and applied experience, she specializes in translating complex real-world problems into questions that can be addressed through rigorous data inquiry.

Her work sits at the intersection of data analytics, institutional systems, and governance integrity, applying quantitative approaches to issues traditionally examined without analytical frameworks. She is particularly interested in how data reshapes accountability, organizational behaviour, and system performance across diverse contexts.

Through international and field experience, Patty integrates analytical thinking with grounded institutional understanding, bringing a data-driven perspective to challenges in organizations and governance structures.
