      Location: London, United Kingdom | Languages: English
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Orlando Machado is a globally recognised data visionary and currently serves as the Chief Data Officer at the LEGO Group. With over two decades of experience bridging the gap between highly technical data science and tangible commercial value, he directs the overarching data and artificial intelligence strategy for one of the world’s most beloved brands. His leadership focuses on embedding data-driven decision-making into the cultural fabric of large-scale enterprises, ensuring that innovation translates into sustained consumer engagement, operational excellence, and future-proof digital architectures.

      Prior to his strategic appointment at the LEGO Group, Orlando held the position of Chief Data Scientist at Aviva, where he was instrumental in transforming the multinational insurer’s approach to advanced analytics. Under his guidance, Aviva developed a robust commercial strategy centred around algorithmic capabilities, personalising customer experiences at an unprecedented scale. His extensive C-suite portfolio also includes his tenure as Chief Data Scientist at MoneySuperMarket, as well as senior leadership roles within WPP, notably at Wunderman. His pioneering work in consumer analytics and data strategy earned him the coveted number-one spot in the DataIQ 100, firmly solidifying his reputation as the UK’s most influential leader in data.

      Strategic Vision and Building a Data-Driven Culture

      Orlando’s philosophy goes beyond the mere implementation of machine learning models; he is a fervent advocate for structural commercial transformation. He possesses a unique capacity to demystify artificial intelligence for executive boards whilst simultaneously cultivating high-performing technical teams. By prioritising ethical data usage, cross-functional collaboration, and the democratisation of data access, he helps global organisations transition from siloed analytics functions to seamlessly integrated digital ecosystems. His proprietary approaches to team building ensure that data scientists work in tandem with commercial leaders, directly aligning algorithmic outputs with overarching business objectives.
