Welcome to EDM Council’s Women Data Professionals Forum. Both our members and guests are invited to participate in this open interest group.
We are excited about this initiative to advance women in our profession and build an active and effective community.
The mission of the Women Data Professionals group is to provide support for and promote women in the field of data and assist in their development and promotion to more senior roles.
ALL are welcome to join and participate – women and men alike.
The Women Data Professionals (WDP) Mentoring Program has a proven track record of lasting impact on past participants, empowering them to excel in their career. See what former participants shared about their experience:
The WDP Mentoring Program provides an environment of trust and candid dialogue where professionals can delve into professional challenges. With the guidance of mentors and peers, mentees gain insights on how to navigate, respond, and steer towards positive outcomes. We are so pleased to offer this opportunity to ALL women data professionals – whether or not you are a member of the EDM Council’s Women Data Professionals group.
Program Details:
The Program assembles small, virtual teams of mentees and mentors, meeting four times over 3-4 months. Each session culminates in a wrap-up event where all participants are welcome to share thoughts, feedback, and ideas for future programs.

THANK YOU to all who participated in our summit in November 2023! CDO Magazine and the EDM Council’s Women Data Professionals presented the 3rd annual Women Data Leaders’ Global Summit – made by women data professionals and open to ALL. Over 1800 professionals from around the world registered for the event.
Our keynote and panel sessions focused on our theme of the New Era of AI: Transforming Data Into ROI. The world of data and AI are moving fast and are critical topics for today’s leaders in any industry. But the key is understanding how data, analytics and AI can drive mission success in any organization.
All sessions were recorded – peruse all the videos:
The Women Data Professionals team was pleased to interview Ms. Jennifer Agnes. She is the Managing Director at Cyonzure Group, a data and analytics strategy consultancy helping businesses create a better future for all through the open and positive use of data. She has been named as one of the DataIQ 100 Most Influential People in Data. Watch the video interview of Jennifer with Prosasty Chaudhuri and Dr. Archana P. Lamichhane, where they discuss their shared passion for helping people reach their highest potential and thrive in their roles and their careers. Jennifer also shares her experiences in shifting from a career of corporate positions to a consultancy role, defining an approach to company and data culture, overcoming and navigating barriers, and the benefits of coaching to help grow careers.
