Webinars (2020-Present):

During the 2020-2022 global pandemic, we produced and delivered online virtual webinars that consistently delivered targeted leads to meet the desires of our partners Alation, Collibra, IBM, Insight Partners, Sumo Logic, and Transmit Security, among others.

Webinar topics were both broad and deep, and included AI, Analytics, Automation, Cloud Migration, Ethics, Data Fabric, Governance, Privacy, Trust in Data, Hybrid Multicloud, Innovation, Regulation, among many others.

Sponsors looked to us to supply both c-level expert speakers, plus registered attendees who expressed interested in specific topics.

We consistently delivered 2-3x the number of targeted registrants that we were contractually obligated to provide.

For example, our bi-monthly 3-year campaign for IBM’s “AI Accelerator” team delivered thousands of targeted AI, analytics, and data registrants to IBM’s “CDO/CTO Summit” series of 16 online webinars and three live, in-person summits from 2020-2023.

You can see each campaign and all webinars below.

Collectively and individually, they showcase our ability to deliver c-level speakers and engaged audiences based on our sponsor’s desires.

You can view every single one of those webinars and events below:

CDO Club: Hall of Fame

The CDO Club is the only organization tracking the ‘CDO to CEO’ career path – also known as the Hall of Fame – those CDOs who have become CEO/President or Board Director/Non Executive Director (NED).

Since 2011, more than 100 CDOs have made that leap, a startling statistic considering the limited number of executives who hold that exact title, and especially when compared to the much larger number of CIOs, CTOs, and CMOs who have not made that upward move.

In May 2018, we jointly pubished a report with Bain Capital on this trend titled “101 CDOs Who Have Become CEO/President” which can be downloaded here.

See our Hall of Fame page for all those who made this career move.
