Al Mathie, Chief Data Officer, NFU Mutual

My career in the insurance industry has centralised around technology and data, with a focus on strategy and transformation delivery, working for both insurers and consulting firms. I have been CDO at NFU Mutual for three years and the remit has expanded significantly over this time; covering setting strategy, securing investment, delivery, demonstrating value and benefits, building and motivating teams, managing risk, and putting out fires.  

I consider it a combination of being a subject matter expert and a salesperson, but most importantly, it is about being able to build a great team to take the vision and make it a reality.
