Reporting to Hugh Thai, head of innovation and data science, D’Adamo will establish and grow Arbella’s enterprise data governance program. “Chad is an experienced leader and this promotion positions him well to strengthen Arbella’s data and analytics,” said Thai. “In this position, Chad will develop policies, standards, and procedures that enhance the availability, quality, and protection of our data.”
