In this episode, Karen speaks with Cali Wood, Head of Data & AI Strategy & Culture at AXA UK, about what it really means to future-proof your career in a world where GenAI is reshaping the skills landscape.
From the rise of AI agents and natural language as a “coding language” to the growing importance of human skills like communication, ethics, and business understanding, Cali shares her experience based view on how AI is changing our field. She delves into:
Practical AI use cases at AXA and their impact on data democratisation, and on the data team
How the skills landscape is shifting and provides practical advice for early- to mid-career data professionals — and the leaders guiding them.
How to stay relevant, collaborate with AI instead of competing against it, and use new tools to work smarter, not just faster.
Cali also reveals why curiosity, boldness, and a willingness to challenge the status quo will be the superpowers of tomorrow’s data workforce.
If you’ve ever wondered where our industry was heading, or what your role might look like in the future — and how to make sure you’re ready — this conversation is for you.
