TESTIMONIALS

Hear from last year's students

I was very impressed with BigID’s Professional Development Series last summer. [The Data Leader's Series] program is pragmatic and down to earth, and people interested in learning more about data leadership are going to bring back new ideas and skills they can put to work immediately.

My engagement with the BigID Data Leaders program proved to be instrumental in enhancing my leadership capabilities within the realm of data management. The program's comprehensive curriculum delved into critical aspects of data strategy, governance, privacy, security, and compliance, providing me with a strategic lens to align to our company's objectives.

I wholeheartedly recommend the BigID Data Leaders program to my peers in leadership roles within the technical and engineering domains. The program has proven to be an indispensable asset, contributing directly to my ability to lead with confidence in the ever-evolving landscape of data management.
