Data in Action: How Leaders Use Their Data

Data in Action: How Leaders Use Their Data
RVADE — First Ever Panel Event

Data means something different depending on where you sit. A state agency uses it to protect the public. A non-profit uses it to save lives. A university uses it to push the field forward. A commerce giant uses it to stay ahead of the market.

But the underlying questions? Those are universal: How do you turn data into decisions? How do you build something that actually works? And what does it take to lead through it?

For our first-ever panel, RVADE is bringing together four Richmond-area data leaders to answer exactly that. This conversation will cover how these leaders approach real problems, build data culture, and make an impact in their organizations.

Meet the panelists:
- Peter Aiken, PhD — Associate Professor, VCU
- Ashley Ford — Director of Data Science, CarMax
- Steven MacLaughlan — Chief Data Officer, Virginia State Police
- Neelam Singh — Director of Data Analytics, UNOS

Your moderator:
- Trip Gilmore — Senior BI & Reporting Analyst, TDC Specialty Underwriting

Whether you're deep in the weeds of your data stack, just starting to explore the field, or looking to connect with practitioners doing meaningful work right here in Richmond there's a seat at this table for you.
