Welcome back to our Chief Data Officer/Chief Analytics Officer JOBS Update through March 2020.

I do hope everyone is safe and healthy. Sincere thanks to our first responders and medical professionals.

It is essential for everyone to do their part to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 virus.

I recently received an email from Caitlin Halferty, Director of IBM’s AI Accelerator and Client Success, inquiring if I knew the Chief Data Officer at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

While I do know the CDC’s super capable CIO (Suzi Connor) and CTO (Jaspal Sagoo), I did not think the organization had a dedicated CDO. Yet.

Last week on April 1, 2020, the CDC officially announced it was seeking a Chief Data Officer, once again showing the critical importance of the role. Kudos to Caitlin for spotting the need.

If you want a position with IMPACT, this is it. Your role at the CDC role may help save lives.

Regular readers of this Update can likely name a dozen top candidates. Perhaps its YOUR dream to work at the CDC.

Either way, lets help the CDC get the best possible person for the role by providing them with qualified leads.

Alert your co-workers and colleagues: the CDC job listing can be found on our CAREER PORTAL. You do not need to be a CDO Club member to see that post, or to apply.
