Ideally a C-level and different from a CDO or CIO to ensure the governance enforcement over the units responsible for the execution.

Compliance or corporate risk management in my opinion (and experience in banking).

Director of Data in Finance (non-banking)2 months ago

To ensure change can be effected and individual rights upheld the DPO should report to a high level. Depending on the roles in C-suite this could be the Chief Data and Analytics Officer, the Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Technology Officer or Chief Risk Officer.

Data Governance is seeing an inflection point as AI presents unique opportunities to automate mundane tasks like data documentation, manual tagging, etc. Despite the opportunities, many leaders still report that data governance is hard. So curious, how is Data Governance changing for most strategic data management leaders? I'd love to hear from peers if anyone has been able to get measurable ROI from doing data governance, not just productivity gains like finding data more easily.
