Questions
Where do these leadership moves come from?
From public announcements and filings: companies' own press releases and newsrooms, SEC 8-K filings (Item 5.02 covers officer appointments and departures) and reputable news. Every move links to its source. A daily agent reads new 8-K filings and news, and anything it finds is marked Unverified until checked by hand.
Which roles are tracked?
Chief Data Officers, Chief AI Officers, Chief Data and AI (or Analytics) Officers, Chief Analytics Officers, heads of data, AI and machine learning, chief scientists at AI labs, and CTOs, CIOs and chief executives where the role is about data or AI.
Why does a move say why, and where does that come from?
The one-line reason is only what the source itself says: the company's stated remit for the role or the reason it gave. Nothing is inferred. When the source gives no reason, the line is left out.
How do I find who runs data or AI at a company?
Type the company into "Who runs data at" on the home page, or open its company page: it lists the current holder of each data and AI seat this site knows about, with the full history of arrivals and departures below.
Are the photos and LinkedIn links official?
No photos are copied from LinkedIn or other sites; people show as initials unless a company offers an official press headshot. A LinkedIn link appears only when the source or the company names it.
Something is wrong or missing. How do I fix it?
Every move, person and company page has Suggest a correction. Each suggestion is checked against a source before anything changes.
