S6 E41: The AI of the Beholder: Data Leadership & Strategy in an AI World

🎙️ Some conversations you plan. Some conversations you know are going to land differently. This is one of them. I am joined by the one and only Barry Panayi, Chief Data Officer, Non-Executive Director, published author, and one of the most respected and inspiring data leaders in the UK. Barry has held CDO and Chief Data & Analytics Officer roles at John Lewis Partnership and Lloyds Banking Group, Howden, and other organisations that have shaped how enterprise data leadership is understood in our country. We will be talking about his book, The AI of the Beholder, but this will go far beyond it. Expect a real, honest conversation about: 🔹 What separates good AI leaders from great ones 🔹 How leadership in data and AI is changing, right now 🔹 What Barry has seen work, at scale, across some of the UK's most complex organisations Between us, we bring experience across Howden, John Lewis Partnership, Lloyds Banking Group, Arm, Unilever, Jaguar Land Rover, and more. This is not a panel. This is a proper conversation between two people who have sat in the room where the hard calls get made. 📅 25th June 2026 🕖 19:00 UK 📍 Live on LinkedIn and YouTube, send your questions through the comments on the day Follow Barry Panayi and set a reminder. You do not want to watch this one on catch-up. Opinions expressed are our own and do not express the views of any of the organisations we belong to. #LinkedInLive #DataLeadership #AIStrategy #CDO #DataCulture #FigureItOutWithFatema #TheAIofTheBeholder*
