"Diana Schildhouse, chief data and analytics officer at Colgate-Palmolive, describes herself as a data storyteller - but what does that mean in terms of day-to-day delivery? "To be successful in roles like this, you must have a deep connection with the business and understand what you're trying to solve, what their questions are, and then devise solutions," she says. "Those solutions could use advanced analytics. Sometimes, it's about creating simpler solutions. But success is always about solving that business need.""
"She was previously at Mattel for eight years, latterly as senior vice-president for global strategy, insights and analytics. Schildhouse has also worked for Westfield, Merrill Lynch and Disney. "Most of my experience has been in consumer-facing companies," she says. "In terms of my career, I've always been in functions like advanced analytics, insights and strategy. When I saw the opportunity with Colgate-Palmolive, I thought about the breadth and scale of the company."
