Data, Analytics & AI Leadership — Building the Foundations AI Depends On

Leona Pais is Head of Data & Analytics at TFG Brands London, with 15 years of experience turning data into business value across retail, ecommerce, and finance. She specialises in modernising data ecosystems — moving organisations off legacy systems onto cloud-based platforms that make genuine AI adoption possible — and works across the full data-to-AI spectrum, from building modern data platforms to developing machine learning models. A member of a Retail Innovation Council advisory board on data and AI, she speaks regularly at CXO-level events on why strong data foundations are the real precondition for successful AI adoption, bringing both a technical leadership perspective and her experience as a woman leading in the field.
