Description

Building a data program isn't all about the tech—it's about getting people to actually work together. Carlos Rivero shares what it was really like starting as Virginia's first Chief Data Officer with no team, no budget, and a lot of skeptical agencies. He talks about how he learned to be more of a "people wrangler" than a data expert, turning critics into allies and figuring out that most of the job was just getting everyone on the same page.
