🎙️ Exciting news! I recently had the privilege of interviewing Shayde Christian, CDAO & VP at Cloudera, on The Ravit Show. We delved into a fascinating discussion about the evolving role of Chief Data Officers (CDAOs) in today's data-driven world. The conversation was insightful, especially around the trend of CDAOs transitioning into more prominent business leadership roles. With Forbes likening CDAOs to CEOs and LinkedIn forecasting more CDAOs in CEO positions, it's clear we're witnessing a significant shift in the data leadership landscape. Key Highlights from our Talk: -- Contrasting thought processes of business-leaning vs. technology-leaning leaders -- How these leaders define success differently -- Language and motivations that drive these professionals -- Balancing tech engagement with executive interactions -- Importance of CDAOs maintaining engagement with senior executives and the challenges therein -- Critical role of storytelling in data leadership and its parallels with cinematic storytelling -- Practical steps for CDAOs aiming to transition towards more business-centric roles #data #datascience #cdo #cloudera #theravitshow
