About Antonio Canova
Global data leader who brings clarity to complex environments and builds the foundations organizations need for fast, confident decision making. My career spans defense, HR, finance, and industrial sectors. I led high-stakes transformations, strengthened risk management, modernized operations, and aligned global teams around measurable results that matter. At Schneider Electric, I designed and operationalized the global Data Quality Framework that elevated enterprise‑wide trust in data. This work improved: • data reliability across business lines, • strengthened compliance,• sharpened pricing and forecasting,• enhanced customer experience, • delivered measurable gains across supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics. Across every role, I partner closely with finance, audit, and risk leaders to embed governance into daily decision making. I focus on integrating data and AI directly into business processes so they become part of the management system, not an afterthought. Recognized as a data thought leader and coach.I help executives elevate their data maturity, build stronger operating models, and lead with purpose.
