In this digital age, data is at the center of any sophisticated business. Customer data. Sales data. Market data. Investment data. Financial data. Business leaders need to have vast amounts of information at their fingertips that they can harness to make decisions quickly and adjust to changing market landscapes.
As a result, companies look for executives who can not only collect, maintain and manage data, but who can also process all the information and tell the story that allows for innovative ideas and collaboration across all departments, and, in many cases,developing products to take to market with that data.
SPMB is a leader in technology executive search and has witnessed the elevation of the data management function to the C-suite. By helping hundreds of companies fill their technology leadership roles, we can tap a vast network of exceptional talent with the precise qualifications to take your company’s data analytics to the next level.
Data analytics has evolved so much over the years that the leadership roles and titles have become more specialized. Every business is unique, and the expertise a company needs depends on its size, stage and operations. Chief Data Officers and Chief Analytics Officers, for example, focus on strategic implementation of data. A Chief Data Scientist would be the mathematician or engineering expert who provides advanced analytics and may bring in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Chief Innovation Officer, as the name implies, drives innovation by using data to identify new opportunities and improve efficiencies.
