Most organizations are still managing data as a collection of tables and reports, but the future demands a shift to truly business-owned data products. Brandon Dombroski, Managing Director, Head of Data Quality and Data Platform Business Ownership at MUFG, reveals how transforming data ownership and engagement unlocks rapid scalability and reduces costs - like cutting data quality rule expenses by 99% - and positions data as a strategic asset rather than just a technical commodity.
In this episode, you’ll discover how MUFG re-engaged the business in data governance, made data catalogs more accessible to non-technical users, and shifted from a data-infrastructure focus to delivering value-driven data products that genuinely serve business needs. Brandon shares a practical framework for evolving from traditional data lakes to a product-centric approach, emphasizing business ownership, use case alignment, and scalable data quality automation.
We also break down the importance of operationalizing data as a product rather than a table, how to foster business buy-in from top-down and bottoms-up strategies, and the emerging role of the Chief AI Officer as data and AI increasingly converge.
