Women Lead Data
Navigating the Culture, Power, and Politics of Data with Nicole Radziwill, PhD, Author and Fractional CDO
In this episode, I’m joined by Nicole Radziwill, PhD, author and fractional chief data officer to startups and enterprises, to learn more about her leadership journey in the data industry. Nicole shares about her career journey, which is so interesting and varied: from starting out in meteorology (even stormchasing!), transitioning into telecom, to her first chief data officer position in the early 2000s, and getting her PhD then becoming a professor for just over 10 years. Most recently Nicole has been sharing her insights and wisdom back in the data industry in various CDO roles and fractional work, and she has written a new book called Data, Strategy, Culture, and Power, which is a culmination of her decades of learnings. We take some time to talk about the challenges that folks in data roles have, especially CDO roles because they have to navigate the politics and power that surround data. This episode is for any data professionals who have felt the challenges of navigating the politics of the role and are interested in how to move up and overcome. Without further ado, here is Nicole!
