Where data leaders grow together
Data Leaders Community of Practice
What challenges are we solving?
Data Leaders Face Unique Challenges
Leaders of data science, analytics, AI/ML, and data engineering teams often face unique challenges in their companies and in their careers. For example:
Defining and driving new technology strategies for data and AI
Developing and positioning a high-performing data team
Navigating organizational processes and stakeholder alignments
Data leaders might not be able to get the specific and trusted support from their companies that they need to be successful. As a result, they feel alone dealing with their pressures and unsupported in their careers.
Here's what we often hear from data leaders, which is why we started this community for cohort-based peer support:
Data leaders can't get trusted support from within their companies for their unique challenges.
They want to learn from the experiences of other data leaders in the industry.
They want to make sure they are doing their best for their companies, their teams, and their careers.
If this is you, then rest assured that we're here to support you!Learn more about the Data Leaders Community of Practice and how you can benefit from it.

Who is this for? For leaders of data science, analytics, AI/ML, and data engineering teams.
Why is this needed? So data leaders can become more effective and confident in their roles as they lead the data strategies in their companies.
What is the format? Each cohort of data leaders meets monthly to confidentially discuss topics relevant to the challenges of data leaders. The group mutually agrees on these topics in advance, which could include 1) AI adoption, 2) data technologies and vendors, 3) managing stakeholders, 4) employee performance management, 5) team branding, and 6) career development. To foster the best productive discussions, we limit the size of each cohort up to 8 people. For the best open and impactful discussions, the group adheres to a confidentiality policy, and employees from the same company are put into different cohorts.
How will this benefit me? You'll gain confidence and actionable strategies to enhance your role as a data leader. You'll acquire valuable insights and network connections from others in the industry. You'll learn how to handle challenges for data leaders directly from other data leaders in a confidential forum. Accelerate your career in your company and in the industry with the insights you gain from this group.
When are the meetings? Each cohort meets monthly for 6 months. The in-person and virtual meetings are scheduled for dates and times that the cohort mutually agrees on. We can place you into a cohort that can accommodate your availability.
Where are the meetings? Some of the cohorts meet in-person in areas like the SF Bay Area, while other cohorts are designed to be virtual by Zoom only. See additional info for the latest schedule or contact us for info.
