About the book

How can data leaders build long-term value in the era of AI?

Data Excellence
by Roberto Maranca is the strategic guide for Chief Data Officers, VPs, Directors and consultants responsible for delivering sustained, measurable data performance. Combining tactical insight with long-term vision, this book shows how to embed data leadership across the enterprise and drive real organizational value, beyond just tools or tech.

Framing the data leader as a performance coach, it offers a clear methodology for building scalable data capabilities that align with AI-driven transformation, governance and business goals.

You'll learn how to:
- Build a culture of data performance through behavior and mindset shifts
- Strengthen change execution and align initiatives across business units
- Deliver measurable value through data productization and cost-benefit analysis
- Evaluate risk and control functions across the data lifecycle
- Apply performance diagnostics including use-case readiness and initiative mapping

With practical tools and strategic depth, Data Excellence equips senior data leaders to future-proof their organizations and lead with impact in an increasingly AI-powered landscape.

Themes include: data leadership, organizational performance, AI-era transformation, data culture, value generation, data governance

About the authors

Roberto M Maranca is currently Data Officer for the Energy Management Business of Schneider Electric and prior to that, held C-suite leadership roles as the Group Data Officer for Lloyds Banking Group and Chief Data Officer at General Electric.

  • Every page of Data Excellence succeeds in a remarkable feat: translating years of experience, mistakes, successes and insights into a real practical training course in data excellence. The original metaphor of the Data Personal Trainer who trains corporate Data Athletes is not just a stylistic device, but the key to transforming complex concepts into a concrete and accessible path. With a direct, intelligent and never predictable style, Roberto Maranca starts from a simple yet overlooked observation: to obtain value from data, technology and frameworks are not enough; a real cultural change is needed, role by role, habit by habit. This book is deeply original because it does not copy ready-made models: it dismantles them, compares them and reconstructs them based on what is really needed in the company. Each chapter is a step towards an idea of excellence that brings together culture, change and value. I highly recommend this book to anyone responsible for organizational change, from Chief Data Officers, to digital transformation leaders, to all those who want to move beyond talking about being 'data-driven' and start truly embodying it, day after day.
