How the NY Times CIO broke down silos to democratize data at the Times

New York Times CIO Marc Frons explains why the Times doesn’t treat its engineers and technologists as mere order-takers, but rather considers them peers with the other creative people at the company and the business folks at the company. “We created, what we called then, The Business Intelligence Group, to be renamed as our Data Science and Engineering Group, to really unlock the power of data across the company. And then furthering that, saying, hey, we want to democratize data,” Frons said.
