What is the CAO-100?

We are building the CAO-100, a definitive catalogue of the top analytics leaders worldwide. Executive analytics officers who advocate for, create, and maintain systems that transform data into business value are critical for the sustained success of businesses today. Our aim is to recognize and acknowledge the formidable work of data-driven leaders at the forefront of the analytics revolution. We are committed to ushering in a new era in which the Chief Analytics Officer job function is ubiquitous.

The CAO-100 team has spent a significant amount of time researching comparable lists from other industries that capture our vision. The snapshot above is based on the CIO Power 100, built to recognize Chief Investment Officers. We are working to develop an interface that is accessible and understandable, spotlighting many of the key features of analytics leaders. We suggest browsing the Power 100 for a glimpse of the future of the CAO-100.

Profile Design

Our goal is to recognize analytics leaders who make meaningful contributions in their respective industries. We aim to highlight this through the use of an interactive catalogue based on hard data and clear inclusion criteria. A rubric is being developed to score top executives in a manner that is accessible to both readers and listed members. We believe the top executives are distinguished by their organizations’ analytics maturity, experience in the industry, and track record of impactful leadership. These factors, among others, will play a significant role in the selection and scoring processes. The profile below illustrates the CAO-100’s concept design. Each featured executive will have a separate page detailing their industry experience.
