Why Leaders Can't Delegate Judgment to Systems: Where Accountability Exists

About Our Contributing ExpertArun Gamidi | Enterprise Data & Analytics LeaderArun Gamidi believes most data initiatives fail not because of bad technology, but because they never connect to the decisions that actually matter. A data and analytics leader with deep experience in financial services, Arun has spent his career building and scaling data ecosystems in high-stakes enterprise environments where the cost of unclear decisions is real.His work is grounded in a decision-first philosophy: data and AI create value only when they clarify the choices leaders must make. His framework, DATA by Design (Direction, Alignment, Trust, and Activation), gives organisations a repeatable path to align data initiatives with business goals, build trust in their information, and ensure insights reach the moment of decision.Arun currently leads Enterprise Data & Analytics at MGIC.
