Saif Arshad is Director, Commercial Data Governance at S&P Global Market Intelligence, where he leads commercial data governance and data product operating models across Salesforce, Revenue Operations, Finance, Product, and Business Intelligence. His work focuses on one of the hardest challenges facing modern organizations: establishing clear ownership, accountability, and decision rights for data products at enterprise scale. Saif specializes in governance frameworks, stewardship models, product catalog governance, master data strategy, and trusted data foundations that enable both business agility and effective governance. With more than 20 years of experience in transformation and operational leadership, he helps organizations turn governance from a compliance exercise into a practical framework for delivering reliable, scalable business outcomes.
As the number of products grows, governance must extend beyond compliance to investment and lifecycle decisions. This panel explores how enterprises balance local demand with portfolio value, risk, duplication and long-term maintenance.
• Establishing transparent decision rights and prioritisation criteria
• Comparing persistent product value with cost, risk and strategic importance
• Making difficult consolidation and retirement decisions
As portfolios expand and consumption becomes more distributed, trust must be maintained without overwhelming teams with approvals. This panel examines how organisations scale ownership, certification, transparency and control.
• Creating common trust signals that consumers can understand
• Using tiered governance based on sensitivity, criticality and use
• Balancing oversight with autonomy and delivery speed
