(Europe) We are pleased to announce that Steven Wyer, Chief Data Officer, The Crown Estate, has joined the CDO Magazine Editorial Board. He has also accepted the position of Country CDO Ambassador for the United Kingdom, as part of the global partnership of the MIT CDOIQ, the International Society of Chief Data Officers, and CDO Magazine. Wyer formerly served as the Country CDO Ambassador for the Netherlands.

Wyer is the Chief Data Officer at The Crown Estate, as well as a mentor for the Reed Women in Technology Program. His current role covers the full data lifecycle from building a trust data ecosystem including platform, dev-ops and governance, to internal monetization through self-service reporting, advanced and geospatial analytics.

An established data expert, Wyer has more than 20 years in data from being a data analyst to being a C-suite executive covering banking, government, telecommunications, fast-moving consumer goods, and real estate. He has focused predominantly on driving digital transformation, data literacy, ethics, and culture initiatives. With his varied background, his skills are adaptive and have been honed in large-scale global organizations, small businesses and start-ups across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Pacific regions. Wyer has established new greenfield data functions and built commercial data products to cross-border billion-dollar core banking platforms. 

People and impact are most important to Wyer: aligning change to value driving action, leaving a legacy, and working with (and developing) the best people as a leader, peer or team member.  Deep relationships with team, stakeholders and community keeps him energized. Wyer has a passion for sharing his experience and debunking the hype to advance the data community. He pays it forward by mentoring, advising and challenging the data profession to continuously improve.
