A Data Director manages the data strategy, analytics, and data governance functions of a business. A Chief Data Officer (CDO) is a more senior, board-level role overseeing the entire data ecosystem and AI strategy across an organisation. In practice for SMEs, the roles overlap significantly. Leadership Services provides fractional Data Directors who operate at both strategic and tactical levels, giving you CDO-quality expertise without the full-time cost.
