(US and Canada) We are pleased to welcome Ben Wiles to CDO Magazine’s Global Editorial Board. Wiles is the inaugural Chief Data Officer at Clemson University, with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Engineering & Science Education.
Wiles’ career has centered around higher education. He previously served as the assistant head of the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University, where he launched an enterprise analytics function. Additionally, he has 20 years of experience teaching mathematics, statistics, and STEM education. Diverse research experiences in automotive safety systems, number theory, educational psychology, and special education drive Wiles’ advocacy for data and algorithm value.
On the business side, Wiles has used extensive datasets to plan and execute large-scale institutional curricular reform and educational services while operating under human, fiscal, and physical resource constraints. A key component of his research involves the study of human motivation and connecting psychological theory with the pragmatic needs of organizations to adopt the cultures, practices, structures, and mindsets that enable the realization of value from institutional data.
As global thought leaders, CDO Magazine’s Editorial Board of top executives shares their expert opinions and innovations in data and analytics. The board ensures we champion the best companies, leaders, and insights that accelerate our community’s success.
