Product Thinking, Platform Strategy, and the Future of AI Governance | CDO Matters Ep. 95

from CDO Matters Podcast

Episode OverviewIn this episode of the CDO Matters podcast, I sit down with Microsoft’s Karthik Ravindran to unpack what it really means to be “AI-ready” in 2026, and why most organizations are still thinking about data the wrong way. We explore the collision of product management, governance, and platform strategy, and why AI success will be determined less by models and more by mindset, operating model, and the quality of the data fueling the engine. If you’re a data or analytics leader trying to translate AI hype into measurable business outcomes, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss! Episode Links and ResourcesFollow Malcolm Hawker on LinkedInFollow Karthik Ravindran on LinkedIn
