ATLANTA, GA — April 24, 2026 — Data Science Connect Unveils Atlanta’s Top 100 Data + AI Leaders Driving Enterprise Transformation
Data Science Connect (DSC), the world’s largest data and AI ecosystem for enterprise leaders, is proud to introduce its Top 100 Data + AI Leaders of Atlanta. This list recognizes the executives shaping how organizations turn data into competitive advantage. As one of the fastest-growing hubs for enterprise innovation, Atlanta continues to stand out for its deep expertise across financial services, healthcare, technology, retail, and manufacturing. This year’s honorees represent the leaders building and scaling the systems, strategies, and teams that make AI real inside complex organizations.
These executives are driving a new phase of enterprise transformation—moving beyond experimentation to operational impact. From modernizing data infrastructure to governing AI at scale, they are responsible for embedding intelligence into core business functions and delivering measurable results. Their work reflects a broader shift in the market: AI is no longer a future initiative, but a present-day priority requiring strong leadership, cross-functional alignment, and disciplined execution.
The Top 100 Data + AI Leaders of Atlanta will be recognized at the ALIGN AI Executive Summit on May 20, 2026, at City Winery Atlanta, where 150+ senior executives will gather for candid, peer-driven conversations on AI strategy, architecture, and scaling challenges. This recognition is part of DSC’s ongoing effort to spotlight the individuals shaping the future of enterprise AI and to strengthen the connections that power the global data science community.
