Why Data Projects Fail: Building Trust, Teams and Platforms in a Bank

What an inspiring session we had during the 10th episode of our community series She Leads Int. hosted by Natalia Kotova!

Most data projects fail. Even in the biggest companies. So what are we still getting wrong?

Natalia will go live with Shaheen Alladin Itchir, Founder & CEO of ACROPORA DATA, for a powerful conversation on what really makes data projects succeed.

From her journey from consultant to entrepreneur, to building a global data company, we’ll dive into:

• why data initiatives fail (even in big organizations)

• the role of governance, quality & testing

• what companies get wrong about AI and data foundations

• and what it takes to build and lead in the world of data If you’re working with data, leading teams, or thinking about building something of your own, this one is for you.

Join us and the She Leads Community for an inspiring and insightful conversation to kick off this new series!
