On Wednesday, 22 October 2025, we proudly unveiled the DataIQ 30 Africa – a defining milestone in the evolution of global data and AI leadership. For the first time, Africa’s most influential data and AI leaders have been recognised in a dedicated programme, revealed at the DataIQ 30 Africa Reveal in Johannesburg. Delivered in partnership with Accenture Africa, this inaugural list showcases the exceptional breadth of talent across the continent.
The role of the data and AI leader has never been more critical or more complex. For 2025 DataIQ 30 Africa leaders, it means that the next 12 to 24 months will see them focused firmly on balancing speed with responsibility, embedding AI into the fabric of business strategy, and ensuring that data remains the trusted foundation for innovation.
