In this second installment of a three-part conversation, Andrew Foster, Chief Data Officer at M&T Bank, continues his discussion with Parker Thompson, Regional Vice President and General Manager, East at Denodo, shifting the focus from strategy design to execution realities. While part 1 explored M&T’s data strategy, the rollout of AI tools to 17,000 employees, and the governance foundations required to protect customer trust, Part 2 goes deeper into how those ideas are operationalized across the organization.
