At Gartner, I write on issues of D&A functional leadership & strategy, especially at the level of the Chief Data & Analytics Officer or Chief Data Officer. Key areas of expertise include aligning D&A strategy with business strategy, the role of the CDAO in enabling AI-driven transformation, organizing the D&A function for business impact and measuring, assessing and communicating the business value of D&A.
Previously at Gartner, I led the Peer and Practitioner Research team for the Data & Analytics practice. My team identified best practices associated with successful D&A functional management and leadership. I am a senior business leader with 25 years of experience in building businesses and leading global teams. I've had considerable experience advising CIOs and other senior leaders at Fortune 1000 companies in issues of digital transformation, functional strategy and management including strategy development, governance, talent and organizational design.
