Скачать или смотреть Data Priorities Mean Nothing Without Budget - Jennifer McGhee | Mic Drop with Julia Bardmesser

The louder the priorities, the clearer the questions need to be.

Jennifer McGhee, former Head of Data Strategy and Governance at MFS Investment Management, joined me on Mic Drop to share a painful but powverful lesson: never assume budget equals support. She explains why data leaders need to ask hard questions, build influence, and shape strategy—not from the sidelines, but from the center.

Key insights from our conversation:

• If data’s a priority, ask how it’s funded—don’t rely on assumptions
• Siloed budgeting kills momentum—shared strategy is everything
• Influence is earned through relationships, not just reporting lines
