Many organizations recently have recruited a Chief Data Officer, with the aspiration to fix "all data-related problems." The Messiah, the data king, the tsar (and other surreal nicknames given), has some required qualifications and preferred skills to be positioned to be successful. What are those skills? Can just "anyone" become a CDO? What's the common career path of a CDO? This presentation will share my own experience as a CDO in two global companies and as a consultant CDO to other Fortune 500 companies, what qualifications are needed to be a successful CDO, and how to reset the paramount expectations CDOs experience nowadays.
