- 5 minutes read
Chief Growth Officer Mark Johnson will moderate a panel featuring data and AI leaders from Fifth Third Bank, Great American Insurance Group, and Brown-Forman on moving from AI experimentation to measurable business outcomes.
CoStrategix announced its sponsorship of the upcoming Cincinnati CDO Leadership Summit 2026. Hosted by CDO Magazine, the premier gathering brings together executive data, analytics, and AI leaders across industries to address the most pressing strategic opportunities and operational challenges facing modern enterprises.
As organizations face growing pressure to demonstrate clear, scalable returns on their artificial intelligence investments, CoStrategix Chief Growth Officer Mark Johnson will moderate a featured panel titled: From AI Possibility to Business Value: Choosing the Use Cases Worth Scaling.
While enterprise organizations rarely lack innovative AI ideas, the real challenge lies in determining which concepts deserve to evolve into scalable enterprise capabilities. The session will feature prominent industry executives sharing real-world insights and frameworks for defining value before development begins, measuring outcomes post-deployment, and deciding whether an initiative should scale, evolve, or be sunsetted.
Distinguished Panelists Include:
- Nate Murray, Chief Data Officer at Fifth Third Bank
- Rob Golden, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Great American Insurance Group
- Amit Parulekar, Director, Global Advanced Analytics & AI at Brown-Forman
- Mark Johnson (Moderator), Chief Growth Officer at CoStrategix
“Enterprise leaders are shifting their focus from ‘what can AI do?’ to ‘what AI initiatives actually drive bottom-line value?'” said Mark Johnson, CGO at CoStrategix. “Having an idea that works on paper is easy, but making it operational, adoption-ready, and financially justifiable at enterprise scale is where the real work happens. I look forward to hosting Nate, Rob, and Amit for a candid discussion on what it takes to bridge the gap between technical success and true business outcomes.”
The panel will also explore key lessons learned from initiatives that looked promising in pilot stages but proved difficult to operationalize or adopt across complex enterprise environments.
