Meet the Modern Data Team
What does the modern enterprise data team look like in an era of artificial intelligence, automation, and increasingly complex data environments? As organizations accelerate their AI strategies, traditional approaches to data management, analytics, and engineering are evolving to meet new demands for speed, scalability, and reliability. In this session, "Meet the Modern Data Team," from COLLIDE Data + AI Conference 2026, Geetesh Iyer, Founding Product Manager @ WisdomAI, explores the changing landscape of enterprise data teams and the technologies, capabilities, and operating models shaping how organizations work with data. Modern data teams are expected to do more than build pipelines, maintain dashboards, and deliver reports. They must make enterprise information accessible, support AI-powered analytics, maintain data quality, and enable business teams to generate reliable insights without unnecessary technical complexity. As generative AI and natural language interfaces reshape how users interact with enterprise information, new opportunities are emerging for collaboration between data engineers, analysts, business stakeholders, and AI-powered systems. For data and AI leaders, this evolution raises important questions about team responsibilities, data accessibility, semantic consistency, and the future of self-service analytics. 🎯 Key Topics to Explore: The Evolution of Data Teams: How enterprise data roles, responsibilities, and workflows are changing as AI becomes more integrated into business operations. AI-Powered Analytics: The potential for artificial intelligence and natural language interfaces to improve access to enterprise data and insights. Modern Data Architecture: Why reliable data infrastructure, governance, and semantic consistency matter for AI-enabled analytics. Data Team Productivity: Opportunities to streamline repetitive analytics workflows and reduce the operational burden on data professionals. The Future of Enterprise Analytics: How collaboration between human experts and AI-powered tools could influence data-driven decision-making. 🎤 Featured Speaker Geetesh Iyer Founding Product Manager | WisdomAI Session Brought to You By: WisdomAI About COLLIDE Data + AI Conference 2026 Organized by Data Science Connect, COLLIDE Data + AI Conference 2026 took place on October 1, 2026, at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
