What’s in this podcast?
In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO and Founder of Cynozure, speaks with Lindsay Mason, a senior data leader with 20 years of executive experience spanning retail giants like Debenhams and John Lewis Partnership, and more recently, UK Government. During the episode, Lindsay shares how she moved from merchandise analyst to Chief Data Officer, driven by her frustration with poor data quality and a desire to fix problems at the source.
The conversation explores what it truly means to lead with data, including setting a clear vision whilst delivering tangible value, building trust through collaboration and making impact visible to stakeholders who might otherwise overlook the work. Lindsay discusses the importance of starting with outcomes rather than outputs, the art of retelling your narrative to diverse audiences and why “perfect is sometimes the enemy of progress”.
