The most influential people in data and AI

What is the DataIQ 100?

The first and only fully-curated power list of the most influential data and analytics practitioners. Since 2014, DataIQ has been tracking the rise of chief data officers, chief analytics officers, data scientists, data governance experts and the leaders of key vendors and service providers. Inclusion in the DataIQ 100 is a notable badge of honour that is widely referenced by the individuals who make the cut.

The DataIQ 100 profiles the most important and influential people in data-driven businesses and the innovators who support them. In 2025 we will relaunch the DataIQ 100 list with a renewed focus on creating a global network of leaders in large organisations.

 

Why Be Featured in the DataIQ 100:

  • Industry Recognition: Being included in the DataIQ 100 is a prestigious honor that validates your expertise and leadership in the field of data and analytics.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with other top data leaders and build valuable relationships within the industry.
  • Career Advancement: The DataIQ 100 can enhance your professional reputation and open doors to new opportunities.

 

To be considered, we look for three factors:

  1. Leadership within an organisation as the voice of data and advocate for its value and importance.
  2. Status within the broader data and analytics industry through networking, visibility and influence.
  3. Support of DataIQ and our mission to equip the global community of data leaders and their teams with the essential connections, knowledge and expertise to make better decisions and build better businesses.

 

The final list is chosen by DataIQ from an extensive consideration set – in 2024, over 2,000 candidates were considered before we selected our final lists. We also identified a Top Ten – individuals whose activities significantly align with the approach to data and analytics that DataIQ advocates and are deserving of the enhanced status we can confer.
