Welcome back to our Chief Data Officer JOBS Update, through September 2016.

Our regular readers know from our original research that Chief DIGITAL Officer hires have been doubling every year. And that is startling enough (see our Chief DIGITAL Officer Update for August 2016 here).

Even more amazing is the tremendous growth of Chief DATA Officers.

Last year, we tracked a few hundred. This year, there are over ONE THOUSAND! We’re not alone in reporting this – Gartner is showing the same growth rate, and estimates that 90% of large organizations will have a CDO by 2019.

Be sure to check out last week’s post “What? Chief Data Officers Surpass Chief Digital Officers!” that includes CDO Club founder David Mathison’s recap of the launch of IBM’s DataFirst platform, O’Reilly’s Strata+Hadoop World conference, and AdWeek.

Each of these events expose, from slightly different angles, why big data has gained traction in the marketplace, with no signs of slowing down.

In this month’s issue, we listed new Chief DATA Officer appointments for September; we tracked over 35 articles and hand-picked more than a DOZEN CDOs who made the news last month; and we posted TWO more new open CDO positions on our CDO Career page (for a total of 29 open jobs), including jobs at the Department for Work and Pensions, The Health & Human Services Agency (HHSA), The City of Louisville, The State of Illinois, and The City & County of San Francisco, among others.

Clearly, these are exciting times to be a leader in building a data-driven culture!

The CDO Summit is the “must-attend” digital event of the year. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 CDO Summits received stellar endorsements from dozens of speakers and attendees alike:

“Sometimes a conference comes along that hits the trifecta – hot topic, high-caliber attendees, and stellar location. The first Chief Digital Officer Summit reached that mark with ease, and I look forward to attending the next one.”

Eric Hellweg
Managing Director, Digital Strategy/Editorial Director
Harvard Business Review

“Congratulations and thanks to David Mathison for spotting the need for community and collaboration in the growing Chief Digital Officer space, and for having the wherewithal, network, and organizational talent to put together such a top-notch event in its inaugural year. Next year’s summit should be even more of a must-do for anyone working digital at senior levels in all kinds of businesses.”

Teddy Goff
Digital Director
President Barack Obama 2008 and 2012

“David, here’s a handy C^3 test for conference value: Did I learn at least three new perspectives? Check. Did I meet at least three interesting people? Check. Did I take back at least three relevant pieces of news I can use? Check. Flying colors for the Chief Digital Officer Summit 2013! Thank you so much, and yes, I’d be very pleased to participate next year!”

Perry Hewitt
Chief Digital Officer
Harvard University

“Congratulations to David Mathison and his team on the simply amazing job they did on the inaugural Chief Digital Officer Summit. Probably the most informative, insightful, on target, entertaining, collaborative, thought provoking, and inspiring conferences I have ever attended. I learned more about my business and what I do in the past 12 hours than I have from any research white paper, articles or blogs over the past 12 months. The range of topics and speakers assembled were incredibly diverse, informative, collaborative, and most of all, inspiring. It has invigorated me to be the best possible professional CDO I can be. David Mathison’s skills as a moderator were impeccable, bringing out the best of the speakers and keeping the conversation flowing. His intimate and insightful knowledge of this space is only out-shined by his humility and graciousness. Kudos to David and his organizing team.”
