Affinity Reply Co-Hosts TPO33 Chief Data Officer Roundtable in Dubai
Dubai
11 February 2026
Affinity Reply was proud to serve as co-host partner for the TPO33 Chief Data Officer Roundtable Dubai, held on February 11 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. The exclusive gathering brought together 33 senior data and technology decision-makers from across the Middle East for a highly curated and interactive exchange focused on the evolving role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO).
Designed as a compact four-hour experience, the roundtable explored how data leaders are operationalizing strategy and delivering measurable business impact in an increasingly Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven landscape. Discussions centered on three critical priorities shaping today’s data agenda:
Delivering tangible value to the business through outcome-driven data products
Establishing a strategic foundation for AI through scalable, high-quality, and actionable data
Accelerating governance and data quality using AI-powered automation
As digital transformation efforts mature across the region, the role of the CDO continues to expand beyond infrastructure and compliance. Today’s data leaders are expected to drive innovation, enable enterprise-wide AI initiatives, and ensure responsible and trusted data practices at scale. The Dubai edition of TPO33 provided a platform for candid peer exchange, practical insight, and collaborative discussion on how to transition from foundational data capabilities to value-led, product-oriented models.
Tim Falla of Affinity Reply contributed to the day’s thought-provoking conversations alongside fellow speakers and industry experts, helping to shape dialogue around data governance, AI strategy, and innovation in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. The event fostered meaningful connections and reinforced a shared commitment to advancing data leadership aligned with both opportunity and responsibility in an AI-enabled world.
Affinity Reply is honored to have partnered on this impactful edition of TPO33 and looks forward to continuing to support organizations as they unlock the full value of data and AI across the region.
