How CDOs Must Adapt and Change to Stay Relevant and Have a Business Impact | |
|
Moderator: Randy Bean, Data & AI Leader
Panelists: Ryan Swann, Vanguard
Don Vu, New York Life
The CDO role continues to evolve. The good news is that the demand for data & AI leadership has never been greater. Yet, while a record 84% of Fortune 1000 and leading global organizations have appointed a CDO according to survey data, less than half report that the role is successful and well established. Further, one-third report having hired a Chief AI Officer. What impact will this have on the CDO role? With an average tenure of well under 3 years, this session tackles the tough questions of how CDOs must evolve, adapt, and change if they wish to remain relevant and have a business impact within their organizations.

Moderator: Olivia Kew-Fickus, Vanderbilt U.
Panelists: Dr. Katie Wilkinson, University of Missouri
Ravneet Chadha, University of Arizona
Dr. Corinne Bannon, University of Kansas
Why does a university need a CDO?
Every Chief Data Officer knows that to be successful, they must demonstrate a financial return on the Data and Analytics portfolio. How is this possible in an industry whose mission is not profit-driven? Our panel of experienced Higher Education CDOs will discuss how leaders must successfully challenge conventional wisdom and culture while empowering analysts and customers to successfully deliver measurable outcomes – an approach that we believe can broadly empower data professionals and leaders who often feel like they are swimming upstream against organizational maturity, culture, and structures.
