CDO Magazine is proud to announce the Atlanta Top 25 Data Leaders 2025. These individuals have demonstrated exceptional leadership and innovation in data-driven strategies, and have made significant contributions to the field of data, analytics, and AI in their organizations and industries.

The Top 25 Data Leaders were selected for their demonstrated ability to harness data and AI for business success, their dedication to innovation, and their impact on shaping the future of the data industry in Atlanta and beyond. This list features executives from a range of industries — including energy, financial services, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and transportation — who are driving digital transformation, setting new standards in data leadership, fostering data-driven decision-making, and advancing AI’s role in business.

To honor these leaders and celebrate their achievements, CDO Magazine is hosting an exclusive cocktail reception at its inaugural Atlanta Leadership Summit on April 24 at The Westin Atlanta Perimeter North.
