Why Data Teams Need Translators, Not Just Tools In this episode of Lead With Data , Rina Gami sits down with Clare Kitching, a senior data leader who works closely with organisations navigating complex data and AI decisions. The conversation explores why many data and AI initiatives stall and not because of tooling gaps. The conversation unpacks how data teams are navigating generative AI, agentic AI and increasing pressure to move quickly, often without the shared language, context and alignment required to succeed. Clare shares what she is seeing first-hand across organisations grappling with executive expectations, shadow AI, governance concerns and the widening distance between technical teams and business leaders. This episode focuses on the growing importance of translators in data teams' people who can bridge strategy, technology and value and what leaders should be paying attention to before scaling AI.
