Gartner follows and analyzes since 2012 the evolution of the role of the Chief Data Officer. We share here the article of Debra Logan, Vice President of Gartner, published on LinkedIn.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CDO: The Right Executive for the Right Role at the Right Time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The role of the Chief Data Officer, a data and analytics focused business executive, emerged as a result of the deluge of data that engulfed us all in the new millennium.\u00a0In December 2012, we counted (yes, we counted them) about 100 CDOs worldwide.\u00a0In 2015, we did our first qualitative survey of CDOs: Biggest issue \u2013 conflict with the CIO. In 2016 we were able to conduct a quantitative survey.\u00a0By the beginning of this\u00a0year we counted (yes, we still count them) over 10,000 individuals with the title of CDO, worldwide.\u00a0My team speak to individuals every day who are performing as CDOs, though do not necessarily have the title.
