We’re honored to welcome Elena Gorohhova, CDO and Head of Data at Luminor Group, for a deep dive into: “Data Leadership in Action: Building Trust, Teams and Platforms in a Bank.” With a wealth of experience leading data transformation in the financial sector, Elena will share her perspective on what it truly takes to drive data strategy, build high-performing teams, and foster trust both within organizations and with customers in a rapidly evolving, tech-driven world. Together, we’ll explore:

• What it means to lead data in a highly regulated industry like banking
