Defining the Modern Data & AI Leader In PE

From Data Leader to CDO: What It Takes to Lead in Private Equity

An Exclusive Leadership Roundtable for Aspiring Chief Data Officers

Harnham, the Global Leader in Data & AI Talent, is delighted to host an exclusive event in collaboration with BGF, bringing together senior Data & AI leaders from across the private equity landscape for an evening of insight, networking and discussion.

As data continues to become a critical driver of value creation within private equity-backed businesses, the role of the Chief Data Officer has never been more important. Yet the transition from senior data leader to board-level executive requires far more than technical expertise.

This event is designed for ambitious Data, Analytics and AI leaders who are aspiring to step into a CDO role within a PE-backed organisation. Together, we'll explore the skills, capabilities and leadership attributes that differentiate today's high-performing data leaders from tomorrow's Chief Data Officers.

Discussion Topics

• What private equity investors expect from a Chief Data Officer
• The commercial mindset required to operate at executive level
• Building influence across the board and wider leadership team
• Balancing innovation, governance and value creation
• Developing the leadership capabilities needed to make the step up
• Lessons learned from leaders who have successfully navigated the journey

This will be an intimate, peer-led discussion offering the opportunity to hear directly from experienced leaders, exchange perspectives with like-minded professionals, and build connections within the growing community of data executives operating in private equity environments.
