Season 4 - Episode 13 - Leading Data Strategy and Teams: An Experienced Leader's Perspective with Craig Rowlands

LEAD WITH DATA Podcast

Super excited to have been able to get some time with Craig Rowlands – GM of Data – Australian Unity to share his experience and talk through a range of topics. Craig has led large data transformation strategies with some of the largest organisations both here and overseas. One of my curiosities is once you get into leadership, how do you continue to have an impact each time you join a new organisation? Surely there is an expectation when you join a business, and understanding what that looks like and how to meet and exceed those expectations is a key part of the discussion we have on this episode.

In addition to this we cover:

• Approaching data strategy in established businesses that have legacy systems
• What Data Transformation and scalability mean
• Some of the biggest challenges he has faced
• How Craig has improved diversity in his teams over the years
• What soft skills are important for aspiring data leaders
