Discover why customer data governance and ownership are essential to reach success

This event will delve into the intricate dance between IT and marketing, two departments that must move in harmony to create a data-driven symphony. We will discuss the importance of alignment among various stakeholders and management, all orchestrated by the North Star metric.
