## Hear from 2024 CDO Magazine Data Leaders
“I had the chance to connect with my peers from other industries. We discussed new technologies that can help us on our data journeys and talked about the challenges we are all facing, including hot topics around AI Governance. I always enjoy these conversations as I view them as therapy sessions. It's helpful to know that we are not alone and that we are all learning and finding solutions for the common data challenges we face.”
###### John Tucker
Director Enterprise Data Governance, McDonald’s
“It was a lively group at the CDO Magazine Chicago dinner, with an engaging conversation on unstructured data governance, security and data rights management for Generative AI. The group agreed that with innovation happening so quickly, it’s time to look for ways to deploy safely, whether they are building their own or taking advantage of GenAI delivered in apps or online services.”
