Joanna Parke

As Chief People Officer for phData, a growing Data and AI consultancy, I bring a unique, well-rounded perspective to the intersection of technology and business, shaped by my prior roles as Chief Talent Officer, Managing Director and COO. Managing a full P&L gave me a deep understanding of business imperatives, enabling me to design technology strategies that deliver both innovation and tangible financial results.

My leadership style is grounded in authenticity, decisive action, and a love for turning ambiguity into clarity. I excel at defining complex problems, creating strategic visions, and building competent, self-driven teams who find genuine fulfillment in their work. I believe leadership development isn’t just about building skills, it’s about helping people discover their values, aptitudes and personal mission and creating alignment with their work to drive meaningful, lasting impact.

I am deeply committed to developing future leaders, cultivating a culture of ownership and purpose, and embracing continuous learning especially as we navigate the rapid changes of the AI revolution. I believe effective time management is one of the most overlooked drivers of leadership impact, and I prioritize it as a cornerstone of my work.
