When the Federal Chief Data Officer (CDO) role was first introduced, simply knowing where data was stored and how to secure it was a major accomplishment. Today, CDOs are expected to be strategic leaders, driving data-driven decision-making across federal agencies. But how can they successfully make this transition?

This week on Feds At the Edge, our expert guests provide a roadmap for CDOs looking to expand their influence. Arjuna Rivera, Senior Solutions Engineer at Atlassian, kicks off the discussion by outlining seven key considerations for obtaining actionable, high-quality data — emphasizing the importance of clean, unbiased data, capacity management, and data mining. He also highlights the power of visualization and predictive modeling in uncovering critical insights.

Jiashen You, CDO for U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, then takes the conversation further, exploring how CDOs can collaborate across agencies to foster a data-driven culture. He shares insights on working closely with Chief AI Officers and introduces the Business of Data Working Group — a vital initiative helping federal data leaders tackle shared challenges and implement effective solutions.

Join us for an insightful conversation on the evolving role of CDOs and the strategies they need to lead with impact.
