As federal agencies start naming chief data officers and placing them within their organizations–as required by the recent Foundations for Evidence Policymaking Act–they need to find someone who can be part cheerleader, part arbiter and part convener. But maybe their most important role is being that person who understands who the true owners are of the data and ensures those owners, the mission or program managers, accept that responsibility.

• Jonathan Alboum, Chief Technology Officer, Public Sector, Veritas
• Srinivas Bangarbale, Chief Data Officer, Commodity Futures Trading Commission
