Founder | CEO | Innovation Fellow | Author | Speaker | Thought Leader | Senior Advisor | Board Chair | Fail Fast | Think Different

Advisor to Fortune 1000 organizations on data and AI leadership for over four decades.

I am a senior advisor, board member, keynote speaker and moderator, contributing author, and former founder and CEO, and have been a participant, observer, chronicler, and leader in the field of data and AI for more than 40 years. I focus on helping executive teams navigate the strategic, cultural, and organizational shifts required to shape AI-enabled transformation.

I’m also the bestselling author of Fail Fast, Learn Faster: Lessons in Data-Driven Leadership in an Age of Disruption, Big Data, and AI, and a regular contributor to Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and MIT Sloan Management Review. My perspectives on AI leadership have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Economist.

In 2001, I founded NewVantage Partners (NVP), a data and AI strategy firm advising Fortune 1000 companies. I led the firm until its acquisition by global consultancy Wavestone in 2021 and continued to serve as CEO/Innovation Fellow of NVP until January 2024.

In 2025, I was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award for my contributions to the fields of data & AI.  Today, I work closely with senior leadership teams as an advisor and board member, focusing on AI and data leadership, change management, and delivering business value from data and AI.

Five Trends in AI and Data Science for 2026 | Thomas H. Davenport and Randy Bean

Fast Company says that being a CEO in 2026 requires “a good measure of enthusiasm and sanguinity” in the face of uncertainties caused in large part by AI-driven disruptions. I’ll add this: in 2026, what CEOs really need is clarity of structure and leadership as much as optimism. Those who evolve beyond fragmented AI roles and into CDAIO leadership will be best equipped to take on the defining challenges and opportunities of the coming year.
