Chief data officer necessary to help set strategic priorities, establish standards and optimize revenue.

Futurist David Houle has said that, within three years, there won’t be a Fortune 500 company without a chief data officer or chief data engineer.

The technology- and business-savvy chief data officer wouldn’t replace the role of the chief information officer or chief technology officer, but he would work under or alongside him to leverage data as a strategic business asset. That means managing how it’s processed and mined, and using it at the executive level to help set strategic priorities, establish standards and optimize revenue.
