Headline Partner

Deepak Jose, Vice President and Head of Data and Decision Intelligence, Niagara Bottling

I am a purpose-led executive leader in digital transformation, data, analytics and AI with a proven track record of driving profitable growth leading a diverse, global end-to-end analytics team. I have been included in the DataIQ 100 top ten in 2023 and 2024, and my team was named Best Place to Work in Data and AI at the DataIQ Awards, 2024. 

My career has given me experience across all major global markets in multiple categories such as beverage, confectionary, gum, food, and health and wellness. Before Niagara, I was part of global brands Coca-Cola, Mars, ABB, and Mu Sigma in strategic roles driving business growth. At Mars, as the global Head of One Demand Data and Analytics Solutions, I started the Mars AI lab driving multiple proprietary patented solutions. Additionally, I am a co-founder and executive director and board member of FuturED AI, a non-profit focusing on AI Education. 

My efforts have seen me awarded the titles of Consumer Good Visionaries 2023, 2023 40 under 40, Top 100 Innovators in Data and Analytics in 2022 and 2023, AI 100 2023 – Top 100 Influencers in AI in the US, and the 2023 Direct 60 Award for Brand Leaders at the Forefront of the Direct-to-Consumer. 

I am an in-demand speaker for the CPG and retail industries, and analytics thought leader. I am also a member of the Forbes Tech Council, AWS Retail and CPG Executive Advisory Forum, industry standards associations, and advisor for startups and AI and analytics service companies.
