Скачать или смотреть AI for Good : Transforming Data Leadership

In the Feb 2025 edition of the Wipro CDAO Circle Podcast, Linda Avery reflected on her pioneering role as the first CDO at the Federal Reserve of New York during the 2008 financial crisis and later at Verizon. She emphasized how data democratization helped the Fed build resilience through a Control Data Sharing Framework, enabling informed, organization-wide decisions. At Verizon, she leveraged AI during COVID-19 to optimize remote scheduling for 32,000 agents and developed a market intelligence platform. Looking ahead, Linda envisions data monetization through marketplaces and the rise of Agentic AI ecosystems, where businesses can access AI capabilities without in-house development.
