CDO MAGAZINE'S
GLOBAL AMBASSADORS
Founded by CDO Magazine, MIT CDOIQ Symposium, and the International Society of Chief Data Officers, the CDO Ambassadors' mission is to enrich the global CDO community with their talent and support.
They are champions of their regions with the goal of building a local community that promotes data literacy and mobilizes the data community.

The CDO Ambassador
has four key principles:
- Champion: To act as supporter and become the voice of data successes locally and globally
- Connect: To connect with fellow CDOs in their country/state and invite them to participate in their local and global CDO community
- Mobilize: To assemble and mobilize their local CDOs and data leaders to support the data industry
- Educate: To create content and share their data knowledge of success for the benefit of the CDO community.
