Episode Synopsis

In this episode of How I Met Your Data, Christina Hois, a data leader with over 30 years in financial services, joins Anjali and Junaid to explore why data challenges rarely stem from technology — and almost always come down to people.
Christina shares why breaking down cultural silos, building stakeholder trust, and prioritizing data tied to real business outcomes matter more than deploying new tools. The conversation highlights the critical role of emotional intelligence, credibility, and collaboration in making data governance actually work.
The takeaway is clear: technology enables scale, but trust and teamwork determine success.
