As a result of the need to manage data that is increasing in scope and complexity and being generated by multiple business units across an organization, new jobs specializing in the care and feeding of shared data have appeared. Chief Data Officer (CDOs) and Chief Data Scientist positions are now becoming common in companies, especially those interested in championing new AI investments.
