CFO Talk The New Gold Rush - Monetizing Proprietary Data in the AI Era
In this episode of CFO Talk, host Steve Rosvold sits down for a fireside chat with AI expert and partner at D2A2, Tobias Zwingmann, to explore how business leaders can monetize proprietary data in the age of AI.
They discuss the dual aspects of data monetization 1.) internal (revenue growth, efficiency, risk management) and 2.) external (selling or licensing data).
Tobias emphasizes the key role CFOs play in recognizing data as a company asset and the importance of governance, quality, and creative thinking when leveraging data.
They also cover practical challenges, such as legacy systems, data valuation, protecting trade secrets, and evolving compliance needs. The conversation highlights various monetization models, from subscriptions to licensing, and encourages CFOs to spark conversations within their organizations about new opportunities for data-driven value creation.
The episode concludes by urging CFOs and finance leaders to become proactive stewards of data monetization strategies.
