#2 The Future of Data Leadership - Joseph Aoun - Chalhoub Group & Apgar

Data leadership is at a turning point—are we ready for what’s next?

Joseph Aoun is the Data & AI Solutions Director at Apgar, a global data management & AI group.

He describes himself as a "Data-Powered Digital Business Transformation Leader"—and that says it all.

With 15+ years of experience in data and digital, he spent the last 7 years at Chalhoub Group, where he played a key role in building and scaling one of the most advanced data and AI teams in the region.

He is also one of the most passionate and insightful leaders I know in Dubai.

In our conversation, we explored:

The role of the Chief Data Officer: How is it evolving? Is hiring one a no-brainer? If yes, where should they sit in the organization?
The importance of strategic patience in AI adoption
What makes an AI product fail
The central role of humans and talent in AI

Thank you Joseph for your time and for sharing your perspective on these burning topics!
