Mark leads the Data Governance & Architecture function at the Financial Times, where he has worked for the past 14 years in a number of data roles. His team's current focus is to ensure the FT can maximise the value from the its data by making sure it has clear ownership; is well understood; is accessible to the right people; is of the appropriate quality; is reusable by design. Prior to the Financial Times, Mark held roles at Domestic & General, Royal Mail and as a consultant to Ford Motor Company. Outside of work, Mark enjoys spending time by the coast with his family and miniature schnauzer. He also plays Volleyball for Welwyn/Hatfield in the Hertfordshire league.
Every organisation says data is strategic, yet most still run on brittle pipelines, stale datasets, and underfunded infrastructure. As automation, real time AI systems, and agentic workflows explode, the gap between what models need and what data teams receive is widening fast. In this panel, speakers will unpack what “automated data” truly requires today, how to quantify its ROI, and how to build foundations that make Responsible AI actually possible.
