Why Your Company May Need a Part Time Chief Data Officer (Eric Gonzalez) - KNN Ep. 174

Ken's Nearest Neighbors

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Eric Gonzalez. Eric is the VP of Business Intelligence Architecture at Eastern Bank. He also works as a for hire fractional data leader. Before data leadership, Eric cut his teeth in consulting. In this episode, we learn about the benefits and drawbacks of working in consulting, what data leaders are missing with generative AI, and how being introspective about our mindset can transform our careers in the long run.
