The Agentic Mindset Shift: How to Onboard an Agentic Data Team

Most CDAOs face the same board mandate: deliver visible AI value now, not a roadmap for next year. Yet most teams remain trapped in an outdated operating model—one engineer per pipeline, one ticket per request, legacy maintenance burning critical engineering bandwidth, and a backlog growing faster than the team can clear it.
Join this session to learn how leading CDAOs are modernizing their operating models. Drawing on enterprise patterns and firsthand executive experience, we will explore:
- Key shifts required for immediate AI delivery.
- Moving engineers from hand-coding pipelines to directing AI agents.
- Modernizing governance, workflows, and roles to drive measurable value without burning out your team.
Speakers:
- Arun Nandi, Chief Data & AI Officer, Carrier Global
- Saydulu Kolasani, Chief Digital & Technology Officer, AXS

The gap between CDAOs and data teams moving now and those still waiting is compounding daily. The constraint on AI value was never the models; it's how fast you can supply them with governed, AI-ready data. This executive guide shows how the CDAOs and data teams already ahead get there: a proven pilot, a funded business case, and a board-ready plan to scale, in 90 days.AOs

80% of AI POCs stall before production — not from bad use cases, but an unresourced supply side. Here's the five-stage leakage chain, and how to close it before your board notices.
