A Chief Data Officer (CDO) is an executive-level executive responsible for the enterprise-wide management of data as an asset. The CDO ensures that data is collected and managed in a way that it can be used to support decisions and strategies. A CDO also helps develop data-driven solutions, improve data quality, and create policies and standards for data governance. Additionally, the CDO will work closely with other executives to help develop strategies that leverage data to generate insights that drive revenue and overall organizational performance.
