Today we hear from DeWayne Griffin, Chief Data Officer at State Farm. In the insurance industry, data is critical both to optimization of the business and to delivering a personalized customer experience, and the insight, expertise, and vision Dewayne brings to his role make it easy to understand why he was the right man for the job technically. His leadership philosophy and warmth make it clear why he excels in his executive and people management responsibilities.

We met at the State Farm campus in Atlanta in January 2022.
