Ram C Iyer

As the Chief Data Officer at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), I lead the agency-wide data and analytics strategy and execution across all centers, and the use of Artificial Intelligence for regulatory operations. With over 20 years of experience in data science, analytics, and digital architecture, I have a proven track record of elevating capabilities by leveraging internal and external networks for value generation.

I have successfully developed multiple Data and Analytics functions and AI capabilities in organizations that never had them as an aligned and strategic function. I have applied innovative organization, learning, and implementation models to generate value in a short timeframe using agile and iterative frameworks. My mission is to drive data and AI decision making and empower execution across the organization.
