Of late, data has become a topic that's often front and center in many a news cycle. In this hyperconnected world, it's no secret that we've all become perpetual streams of data with every view, download, purchase, tap, click and swipe. The result of all these data points? The perfect virtual picture of both our professional and personal lives. 

Because of this, we see no better time for us to chat with Mastercard's Chief Data Officer JoAnn Stonier. The conversation explores the essential role data plays in our business and our responsibility and commitment as a company to use that data in ways that are legal, ethical and in the best interest of our customers. 

​In her conversation with host Arthur Baker, JoAnn also explains how she approaches her role as well as lend some tips to how we can best secure data in our personal lives. It's a fascinating discussion and a must-listen for just about everyone on the planet with a smartphone, smart tv, connected car or smart speaker.
