Chief Data Officer

Sander Brabander

Data is the new quality coffee. Why, you ask? Just as I cannot do without a good cup of coffee in the morning, an organization cannot do without good, qualitative data. As Chief Data Officer at Service Municipality Dordrecht (formerly GR Drechtsteden) I am responsible for all aspects of data. I mainly act on the strategic level and set out the lines on both an organizational and technical level to be able to optimally use data for current and future tasks within the Drechtsteden region. This includes keeping the data strategy and related policy frameworks up to date, steering towards a good data infrastructure and increasing data literacy within the organization as a whole.
