And so it was trying to focus on data security, data governance, data quality, a lot more tactical kinds of issues within the organization. And it has been extremely appealing to me over the last number of years of really helping companies determine how to use data as a strategic asset of the organization.

Thanks for listening.Now you can get the top stories from Tamr delivered to your inbox. I think that’s applicable to CEOs who are just starting their careers as well as those who are more seasoned and still trying to figure out how to get a seat at that executive table.That’ll just about do it then. And you have to keep in mind that in that period of time, we were also seeing the emergence of new information based companies, like an Uber or Amazon was starting to hit stride, companies like Google were really hitting stride and continuing to have massive growth. Someone who not only saw that evolution but experienced it is Mark Ramsey, who held the title of CDO when the role was very new.

And I think my experience has been that where the role reports ultimately then determines the scope of the role and the impact of the role. Once responsible for data governance, companies increasingly want CDOs who use data to drive the business. DataIQ conferences provide a industry-leading platform to learn from the leading practitioners and inspirational leaders across the data and analytics industry. But that really focused on the operational aspects of the company. It’s making decisions based on having data that is really providing insight into how to improve much like a business.

FDA approves GSK’s BLENREP (belantamab mafodotin-blmf) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Ramsey’s 30-year plus career has focused at the intersection of business and technology.

Those organizations were really built around transforming an industry by using data as the key driver.And so it really introduced a lot of interesting discussion topics at the board level of how do we make sure that we’re using data within our organization? And then right now they’re still a large percentage of the CDOs that are more, what I would characterize as tactical CDOs that are focused on concerns like data security and governance.And I’m not saying that those are not important areas of focus, it’s just those are not transformational within the organization, those are much more of the operational, tactical necessities, if you will of the organization.
So to start off with you have three degrees in computer science.

So when the car is getting ready to enter a turn where the brake is applied, how much brake pressure is applied, and then what speed the car makes the turn, and then when the gas is reapplied. And I think that’s the learning is making sure that regardless of the industry is making sure that you have folks engaged that really do have a deep understanding of the business problems to be solved, but you can also take individuals that have a very deep understanding of data and analytics and the ability to architect solutions that solve these types of problems. Our workshop programme develops the soft skills of data, analytics and insight practitioners so they take data and analytics out into their organisations effectively. Then get the recognition you deserve with a DataIQ Award. In both times, he was the first CDO at major companies.
Your place is confirmed, we'll send you email reminders. And it is an evolution where people do start in many cases in one aspect of the role and then evolve the role. And what I’ve seen over time is that that really does create a very significant limiting factor into the talent, because you’ll have a lot of folks who are very good at the architecture of building a large scale data and analytics solution, but they don’t understand every industry.

I’m sitting with Mark Marinelli, the Head of Product at Tamer. Select this result to view Mark Edward Ramsey's phone number, address, and more. This has been the Data Masters Podcast from Tamer. And the real goal is to try to match that of a very high speed driver. Former Chief Data and Analytics Officer, GSK, and former CDO, Samsung Mobile. Most organizations, that’s not the case. I mean, if they’re measuring themselves on improving the data quality of the organization by 5% each year, or improving the data governance scores within the organization. There may always be a place for a more tactical CDO, but like Mark said, data is becoming the number one asset at companies. And I would say that over the next five years you’re going to see that number flip.Hey everybody, and welcome to the Data Masters Podcast. Did the executive team around you have a good sense of what they wanted from the CDO role, or was it more of an open-ended job?Well, I’ve had the opportunity to basically build the CDO role and organization for two major corporations. And now if we fast forward five or six years, many of the banks now have the chief data officer role that is focused on how to create more value out of the data and how to leverage data in very different ways across the organization.Now, in another interview we did for this podcast, I spoke with Randy Bean from New Vantage Partners, whose firm every year does a study, which among other things tracks trends in the CDO role. Path to power . Someone who not only saw that evolution but experienced it firsthand is Mark Ramsey who held the title of CDO when the role was very new. Mark served as a CDO twice in his 30 year career. And what I mean by that is creating a new service line within the organization, combining the internal data with external data to completely change the way that certain aspects of the business operate. And it’s really looking at how data could be used as a strategic asset, looking how data could really drive additional value within an organization. And the way to improve is to understand that when you go out in the car and you’re going to turn a lap the next time is each turn you’re analyzing that breaking point, breaking pressure, corner speed, gas application and exit speed. To lead it they brought in Mark Ramsey as the first head (and Senior Vice President) of … So just some basic break on, how much brake, the speed through the turn, and then the applying the gas and how fast the gas is applied and the speed exiting the turn.And so those data points are things that are tracked, and then you’re able to actually compare one driver’s performance to another driver’s performance.
