How to make your team visible as a data leader

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, speaks with Lindsay Mason, a senior data leader with 20 years of experience across retail and the public sector. Lindsay shares her journey from analysing sales and forecasting trends at Debenhams, where frustration with poor data quality led her into data, to leading data strategy at John Lewis Partnership and moving into the civil service four years ago. The conversation explores what makes data teams visible and valued. Lindsay reflects on joining a team that was "driven and committed but effectively invisible to leadership", teaching her that "if the value isn't visible, it might as well not exist". She shares practical lessons on setting clear visions, why data leaders need to be "cheerleaders" and why "perfect is sometimes the enemy of progress". The discussion covers delivering visible value through use cases, understanding stakeholder outcomes rather than data challenges and building advocates who retell your story across the organisation. 🎧 Listen now to hear Lindsay's practical wisdom on making your team's work recognised and valued.
