You’ll be in good company
Data leaders from these organizations have come through the program.
Hundreds of data leaders across 31+ countries have taken part.
Three sessions that build on each other
You govern the data, then the AI on top, then the way both run. Here’s the shape of the three sessions.
Govern the data first
You can’t govern AI you can’t trace. This is the data underneath every model: what you have, what it means, and who owns it.
- Why AI governance rests on the data foundation underneath it
- What “understood, documented, owned” data really takes
- How catalog, lineage, and ownership set you up to govern AI
Govern the AI on top
Now the AI itself. Which use cases exist, what data each one leans on, where the risk sits, and who owns the output.
- Keeping sight of which AI use cases exist and what they rely on
- Thinking about risk the way the EU AI Act frames it
- Where ownership and accountability for AI outputs should sit
Make it stick
Governance only counts if it runs. Turn the first two layers into a routine your team keeps up without chasing it.
- What it takes to keep governance running, not just launched
- The roles and rhythm that make it a habit, not a project
Short, live, and built around your calendar

Four reasons data leaders keep coming back
Most data leadership advice is theory. This is the room where people who’ve actually done it tell you what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently.
Steal what works. Skip what doesn't.
Proven approaches from data leaders across banking, retail, pharma, and the public sector, including the mistakes they’d undo if they could start over.
Lead the AI conversation
Frameworks for building data and AI products at scale, governance your business will actually adopt, and the mindset to lead when AI is on every executive agenda.
Build a network of peers
A standing community of CDOs and heads of data who trade notes long after the last class ends. The connections outlast the certificate.
Leave with a credential
A data leadership certificate you can show your board and your network, earned in a live program, not a self-paced video course.
A certificate worth showing
Finish all three sessions and it’s yours: the CDO Masterclass certificate, plus critical data element certification from the final session.
- Earned live, in a real program, not clicked through a video
- Yours to share on LinkedIn and with your board
- Backed by a community of data leaders who’ve been through it
Past participants lead data at Disney, Ford, Citi, L’Oréal, Genentech, and the NHS.
