ANDREW DAY
TITLE : GROUP CHIEF DATA OFFICER COMPANY : PEPPER GLOBAL INDUSTRY : FINANCIAL SERVICES LOCATION : LONDON , UK
He describes the task of recognising and managing data as a three-pillared process .
The first pillar is recognising that as a group , or rather in the group function . “ We don ' t have a monopoly on good ideas ,” says Day . “ One of my roles is to work out how we surface the good stuff that ' s happening in the various business units around the world .
We work out what ’ s happening from a data and analytics and tech perspective . We then make sure that ' s shared across the group so we can replicate that where appropriate .”
The second part of the process involves innovation and experimentation – an area that Day is passionate about . He heads up a team of engineers , data scientists , and technologists , who work with the business
