# Leaders: AI and data leadership moves > Who runs data and AI at which company, and when that changes: 41 sourced moves of Chief Data Officers, Chief AI Officers, Chief Analytics Officers and heads of data and AI across 51 companies, by fru.dev. Each move has the person, the company and title they left, the company and title they joined, the announcement date, the type (appointed, promoted, poached, departed, retired), the source (company press release, SEC 8-K Item 5.02 filing or reputable news) and, only where the source states one, the reason in the source's own words. Company and person pages list every move over time; company pages show the current holder of each data and AI seat. A daily agent (06:00 UTC) reads new 8-K filings from SEC EDGAR full-text search and a few news searches; its finds are marked Unverified until checked by hand.
