The AI Monetization Playbook: Lessons from a Data Leader

Turning AI projects into profit.

David Savage talks to Nitish Mathew, a data leader with 25 years’ experience in data monetization. Together they explore how organisations can use data to increase revenue, cut costs, and make AI deliver real ROI.

Nitish shares why so many AI projects stall at the pilot stage, the gap between personal AI use and enterprise adoption, and how strong leadership and clear business goals are essential for success. From building mature, curated datasets to avoiding CEO-level FOMO, he offers practical steps to move from experimentation to large-scale impact.

Discover how to:

  • Link AI initiatives directly to the bottom line

  • Build coalitions, lead by example, and celebrate small wins

  • Use AI to grow the pie — unlocking creativity and new business opportunities

  • Prepare for human-centric roles of the future, like EQ engineers and collaboration engineers

A pragmatic guide for leaders ready to turn AI excitement into lasting business value.
