Rich leads the data practice at AND Digital, and he's not buying into the "AI's coming for your job" panic. If anything, he believes everyone else in the business is about to need the exact skills data leaders already have. His argument is that data's moved through three distinct eras: warehousing, then impact and value, and now the agentic era, where the gap between having an insight and acting on it has basically closed. And this, he says, is the time for data leaders to step up and own that space.
