Did you know that the Harvard Business Review named the data scientist as “the sexiest job of the 21st century,” and that research firm Gartner predicted that 25% of organizations will have a Chief Data Officer by 2017?

I can’t comment on the opinion expressed by HBR, but judging by the pipeline of open Chief Data Officer roles (see below), Gartner’s forecast might actually be on target.

So, welcome to the inaugural issue of our CDO JOBS Update for Chief DATA Officers!

The CDO Summit is the “must-attend” digital event of the year. The 2013 and 2014 CDO Summits received stellar endorsements from dozens of speakers and attendees alike:

“The Chief Digital Officer Summit was engaging as much as it was informative. Bringing these incredible leaders together in one place and for one day speaks to David Mathison’s extensive network, his ability to understand the needs of his clients, and to be ahead of the curve in this important space. It was a great use of my time, and I learned more than I ever thought I would. Great networking as well!”
