About Charlotte Ledoux
The bridge between Data and Business.
Charlotte Ledoux is a Data & AI Governance expert who helps organizations turn governance from a compliance exercise into something their business teams actually use. She works with data leaders on strategy, operating models, roles and responsibilities, and the day-to-day mechanics of making data trustworthy at scale.
Her approach is deliberately practical. Instead of shipping a framework and leaving, she starts from where an organization actually is — its maturity, its politics, its existing tooling — and builds a roadmap that the business can execute without a multi-year transformation programme. Everything she publishes, from the newsletter to the templates, comes out of that consulting work.
What she does
- Strategic consulting — data governance strategy, target operating models, executive committee workshops and one-day training for data teams.
- Training and templates — self-paced courses and editable, ready-to-use artefacts: maturity assessments, roadmaps, KPI trackers, role frameworks and strategy decks.
- Influence and sponsorship — LinkedIn Top Voice content and newsletter sponsorship for vendors who want to reach data practitioners rather than buyers of ads.
- AI literacy training — five-minute games built on the team's own business cases, with skills tracked per team and a record for EU AI Act Article 4.
The Data Governance Playbook
Every two weeks, Charlotte publishes The Data Governance Playbook, a newsletter read by more than 8,500 data professionals. It covers data governance, data strategy and data literacy in plain language, with a bias towards things a reader can apply the same week: how to recruit and onboard data stewards, how to scope a data domain, how master data management fits into a wider strategy, and how to keep governance funded once the initial enthusiasm fades.
