Women Who Catalog: How to Become a CDO

In honor of International Women’s Day, we hosted a very special edition of Women Who Catalog. Michelle Hoiseth, Chief Data Officer of Parexel, a global provider of biopharmaceutical services, joined Alation CMO Tracy Eiler in conversation. The two discussed Michelle’s path to becoming a CDO, insights gained along the way, and finding the leader in all of us. 

Alation created Women Who Catalog to support diversity in data careers. We provide a forum for networking, education and career development for women in analytics, data science and ML/AI. Everyone open to our mission is welcome. 

Key Takeaway:

• How the CDO role is evolving 

• Hoiseth’s journey to becoming the CDO of a $2.5B global provider of biopharmaceutical services 

• The unique challenges of being a female leader in the data field
