The Importance of Soft Skills For Data Governance Programs - QG Connect

While launching and scaling a successful data governance program, the importance of getting buy-in from cross-functional stakeholders and celebrating your wins cannot be overemphasized and doesn’t get as much of a focus as it needs.

In this episode of QG connect, we sit down with Tony Mazzarella, Director of Data Governance at Voya Financial to discuss the lessons he’s learned over the years launching data governance programs and how he’s been successful bringing others along for the ride.
