Roberta Hyland, chief data officer, National Student Clearinghouse
What has been your path to power?
I’d prefer to answer this question as the path to increased impact, because that is what is important to me. My path to chief data officer and other executive roles has been accomplished through learning Clearinghouse’s business, learning all of the complex aspects of the broadly defined education industry and its data, learning the evolution of applicable technologies and their value, and always being intellectually curious and focused on moving through issues to solutions.
This approach has enabled me to move between strategic and tactical and also build that skill in the people with whom I work closely. Lastly, the world is always changing and so I am always looking to understand what may be on the horizon and to understand the opportunities that those changes could bring.
What are your key areas of focus for data and analytics in 2022?
My key areas of focus are:
1) completing the major components of a data modernization effort;
2) ensuring that we have appropriate data governance and data literacy programming to enable product teams to be successful leveraging the modernized data infrastructure; and
3) beginning to build the data science organization.
